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)
$L=l\omega$
$\frac{20}{1000} \times 5 \times \frac{1}{2}=0.02 \omega$
$\omega=2.5 \,rad / s$
