Question:

Consider a body, shown in figure, consisting of two identical balls, each of mass M connected by a light rigid rod. If an impulse J = Mv is imparted to the body at one of its end, what would be its angular velocity ?

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Let $\omega$ be the angular velocity of the rod. Applying, angular impulse = change in angular momentum about centre of mass of the system
$j.\frac{L}{2}=I_c\omega$
$\therefore (Mv)\bigg(\frac{L}{2}\bigg)=(2)\bigg(\frac{ML^2}{4}\bigg)\omega$
$\therefore \omega=\frac{v}{L}$

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.
