6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
hard

$A$ uniform rod is fixed to a rotating turntable so that its lower end is on the axis of the turntable and it makes an angle of $20^o$ to the vertical. (The rod is thus rotating with uniform angular velocity about a vertical axis passing through one end.) If the turntable is rotating clockwise as seen from above. What is the direction of the rod's angular momentum vector (calculated about its lower end)?

A

vertically downwards

B

down at $20^o$ to the horizontal

C

up at $20^o$ to the horizontal

D

vertically upwards

Solution

From the relation $\vec{L}=\vec{r} \times \vec{p}, \vec{L}$ will be $\perp$ to $r$ and $p,$ therefore it's direction will be $20^{\circ},$ down to horizontal.
