Questions  

A circular turn table rotates about its normal axis with uniform angular speed . A circular thick layer of ice and of radius much smaller than the table - top rotates along with the table. The new angular speed  of the table when ice starts melting is

a
b
c
d
any of (1), (2) or (3)

detailed solution

Correct option is B

From L.C.A.M; Iω = L = constant. As the ice melts, it takes the shape of a thin disc whose radius is gradually increasing. Since , angular velocity of the system gradually decreases. Hence option (2) is right.
