Questions  

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

a
its speed of rotation increases
b
its KE of rotation decreases
c
its speed of rotation remains same
d
its speed increases because its moment of inertia increases.

detailed solution

Correct option is B

As  externl torque is zero, angular momentum (L) of the rod remains conserved. Now I = 1/12 ml² and KE = L²/2IDue to thermal expansion, l increases, so KE decreases.
