Question:

A bob of mass m attached to an inextensible string of length l is suspended from a vertical support. The bob rotates in a horizontal circle with an angular speed $\omega \,rad/s$ about the vertical support. About the point of suspension

  • Angular momentum is conserved
  • Angular momentum changes in magnitude but not in direction
  • Angular momentum changes in direction but not in magnitude
  • Angular momentum changes both in direction and magnitude

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$\tau=mg \times l \,\sin \,\theta $ (Direction parallel to plane of rotation of particle)



as $\tau$ is perpendicular to $\vec{L}$, direction of $L$ changes but magnitude remains same

Concepts Used:

System of Particles and Rotational Motion

  1. The system of particles refers to the extended body which is considered a rigid body most of the time for simple or easy understanding. A rigid body is a body with a perfectly definite and unchangeable shape.
  2. The distance between the pair of particles in such a body does not replace or alter. Rotational motion can be described as the motion of a rigid body originates in such a manner that all of its particles move in a circle about an axis with a common angular velocity.
  3. The few common examples of rotational motion are the motion of the blade of a windmill and periodic motion.
