Angular momentum
Question

A cubical block of side a is moving with a velocity v on a horizontal smooth plane as shown in the figure, it hits a bridge at O. The angular speed of the block after it hits the ridge at O, is 

Difficult
Solution

from conservation of angular momentum  mva2=Iω mva2=2 m a23ω   (moment of inertia about a corner of a cube =2 m a23) ω=3v4a
