Angular momentum
Question

A solid Copper sphere is spinning about a diameter with angular velocity 10 rad/s. Due to rise in temperature, the radius of sphere increase by 1%. What will be the change in its angular velocity?

Moderate
Solution

Since no external torque is acting on the sphere, its angular momentum remains conserved.

=L=constant25mR2.ω=constantω=c.R2Δωω=2ΔRRΔωω×100%=2×1%=2%

So angular velocity decreases by 2%.
