A uniform metallic rod rotates about its perpendicular bisector with constant angular speed. If it is heated
uniformly to raise its temperature slightly, then [AIIMS 2015]

a
its speed of rotation increases
b
its speed of rotation decreases
c
its speed of rotation rell1ains same
d
its speed increases because its moment of inertia increases

detailed solution

Correct option is B

When a metallic rod is heated, it expands. Its moment of inertia (I) about a perpendicular bisector increases. According to law of conservation of angular momentum, its angular speed (co) decreases, since  ω∝1I
