6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
medium
Two rigid bodies $A$ and $B$ rotate with rotational kinetic energies $E_A$ and $E_B$ respectively. The moments of inertia of $A$ and $B$ about the axis of rotation are $I_A$ and $I_B$ respectively. If $I_A = I_B/4 \,$and$ \, E_A = 100\ E_B$ the ratio of angular momentum $(L_A)$ of $A$ to the angular momentum $(L_B)$ of $B$ is
A
$25$
B
$5/4$
C
$5$
D
$1/4$
Solution
$E_{\text {retational}}=\frac{1}{2} I w^{2}=\frac{L^{2}}{2 I} \quad(\text {where}, L=\quad I w)$
Therefore, $L^{2}=2 E I$
Hence, $\Rightarrow L_{A}^{2}=2 E_{A} I_{A}…….(1)$
$\Rightarrow L_{B}^{2}=2 E_{B} I_{B}…….(2)$
From equation $( 1 )$ and $( 2 )$
$\Rightarrow \frac{L_{A}}{L_{B}}=5$
