The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

We know that angular momentum of the body is given by
$L=I \omega$
or $L=I\times \frac{2 \pi}{\tau}$
or $L \propto \frac{1}{T}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{L_1}{L_2}=\frac{T_2}{T_1}$
$\frac{L}{L_2}=\frac{2T}{T} (As ,T_2=2T)$
so,$L_2=\frac{L}{2}$ Thus, on doubling the time period, angular momentum of body becomes half.

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.
