6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
medium
A solid cylinder of mass $2\ kg$ and radius $0.2\,m$ is rotating about its own axis without friction with angular velocity $3\,rad/s$. A particle of mass $0.5\ kg$ and moving with a velocity $5\ m/s$ strikes the cylinder and sticks to it as shown in figure. The angular momentum of the cylinder before collision will be ........ $J-s$

A
$0.12$
B
$12$
C
$1.2$
D
$ 1.12$
Solution
Angular momentum of the cylinder before collision $L = I\omega = \frac{1}{2}M{R^2}\omega $
$ = \frac{1}{2}(2)\,{(0.2)^2} \times 3$ = $0.12\ J-s$.
