RRB Technician 2014 Ques 35

Question: When sand is heaped on a rotating disc, its angular velocity will

Options:

A) become zero

B) increase

C) remain constant

D) decrease

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • $ l,\omega $ is constant in the angular motion. $ l=MR^{2} $ When sand is poured and heaped on the disc, mass increases and so l increases. $ l,\omega $ = Constant Hence, if l increases, $ \omega $ decreases.
