6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
easy

A metre stick is pivoted about its centre. A piece of wax of mass $20 \,g$ travelling horizontally and perpendicular to it at $5 \,m / s$ strikes and adheres to one end of the stick so that the stick starts to rotate in a horizontal circle. Given the moment of inertia of the stick and wax about the pivot is $0.02 \,kg m ^2$, the initial angular velocity of the stick is ........... $rad / s$

A

$1.58$

B

$2.24$

C

$2.50$

D

$5.00$

Solution

(c)

$L=l\omega$

$\frac{20}{1000} \times 5 \times \frac{1}{2}=0.02 \omega$

$\omega=2.5 \,rad / s$
