MCQ
A ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating with angular speed $\omega$ about a fixed vertical axis passing through its centre $O$ with two point masses each of mass $\frac{ M }{8}$ at rest at $O$. These masses can move radially outwards along two massless rods fixed on the ring as shown in the figure. At some instant the angular speed of the system is $\frac{8}{9} \omega$ and one of the masses is at a distance of $\frac{3}{5} R$ from $O$. At this instant the distance of the other mass from $O$ is
  • A
    $\frac{2}{3} R$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3} R$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{5} R$
  • $\frac{4}{5} R$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{4}{5} R$
d
Using conservation of angular momentum

$mR ^2 \omega=\left(m R^2 \times \frac{8 \omega}{9}\right)+\left(\frac{ m }{8} \times \frac{9 R^2}{25} \times \frac{8 \omega}{9}\right)+\left(\frac{ m }{8} \times x^2 \times \frac{8 \omega}{9}\right) \Rightarrow x=\frac{4 R}{5}$
