  • $\frac{1}{3} \frac{\ell^{2}\omega^{2}}{g} $
  • $\frac{1}{6} \frac{\ell\omega}{g} $
  • $\frac{1}{2} \frac{\ell^{2}\omega^{2}}{g} $

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$T.E_{i}=T.E_{f}$ $\frac{1}{2}I\omega^{2}=mgh$ $\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{3}m\ell^{2}\omega^{2}=mgh \Rightarrow h=\frac{1}{6} \frac{\ell^{2}\omega^{2}}{g}$

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.
