    A thin circular ring of mass M and radius r is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity \[\omega \]. Four objects each of mass m, are kept gently to the opposite ends of two perpendicular diameters of the ring. The angular velocity of the ring will be:                         [AIPMT 2003]

    A) \[\frac{(M+4m)\,\omega }{M}\]

    B) \[\frac{(M-4m)\,\omega }{M+4m}\]

    C) \[\frac{M\,\omega }{4m}\]

    D) \[\frac{M\,\omega }{M+4m}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea: If external torque acting on the system is zero, hence angular momentum remains conserved.
                            \[{{\tau }_{\text{ext}}}=0\]
    or         \[\frac{dL}{dt}=0\]
    or         \[L=\]constant
    or         \[I\omega =\] constant
    \[\therefore \]      \[{{I}_{1}}\,{{\omega }_{1}}={{I}_{2}}\,{{\omega }_{2}}\]                             …(i)
    Here,     \[{{I}_{1}}=M{{r}^{2}},\,\,{{\omega }_{1}}=\omega ,\,\,{{I}_{2}}=M{{r}^{2}}+4m{{r}^{2}}\]
                Hence, Eq. (i) can be written as
                            \[M{{r}^{2}}\omega =(M{{r}^{2}}+4m{{r}^{2}})\,{{\omega }_{2}}\]
                \[\therefore \]      \[{{\omega }_{2}}=\frac{M\omega }{M+4m}\]
