6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
medium
Two bodies have their moments of inertia $I$ and $2 I$ respectively about their axis of rotation. If their kinetic energies of rotation are equal, their angular momentum will be in the ratio
A
$1:2$
B
$ \sqrt 2 :1$
C
$2:1$
D
$1 : \sqrt 2 $
(AIPMT-2005)
Solution
$KE =\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2=\frac{1}{2} \frac{ L ^2}{I}$
$KE _1= KE _2$
$\frac{1}{2} \frac{ L ^2}{ I _1}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{L_2^2}{I_2}$
$\frac{L_1^2}{I}=\frac{L_2^2}{2}$
$\frac{L_1}{L_2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$1: \sqrt{2}$
