A cubical block of side 30 cm is moving with velocity 2 m s-1 on a smooth horizontal surface. The surface has a bump at a point O as shown in the figure. The angular velocity (in rad/s) of the block immediately after it hits the bump, is :

  1. 13.3
  2. 5.0
  3. 9.4
  4. 6.7

Solution

Conservation of angular momentum about point O,
Lbefore=Lafter
mvR=Iω
ω=m×2×a2m a26+a22
ω=128a=32×0.3=102=5 rad s-1
