A mental sphere of radius $r$ and specific heat $S$ is rotated about an axis passing through its centre at a speed of $n$ rotations per second. It is suddenly stopped and $50 \%$ of its energy is used in increasing its temperature. Then, the raise in temperature of the sphere is
  1. $\frac{2 \pi^2 n^2 r^2}{5 S}$
  2. $\frac{1 \pi^2 n^2}{10 r^2 S}$
  3. $\frac{7}{8} \pi r^2 n^2 S$
  4. $\frac{5(\pi r n)^2}{14 S}$

Solution

Rotational KE of sphere $=\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2$ For sphere, $\quad I=\frac{2}{5} m r^2$ $ \begin{aligned} & \text { KE } \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{5} m r^2(2 \pi n)^2=\frac{1}{5} m r^2 \times 4 \pi^2 n^2 \\ & =\frac{4}{5} m r^2 \pi^2 n^2 \mathrm{~J} \\ & \therefore \text { Heat produced } \Delta Q=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{KE} \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{4}{5} m r^2 \pi^2 n^2\right) \\ & =\frac{2}{5} m r^2 \pi^2 n^2 \\ & \therefore \quad \Delta Q=m s \Delta t \\ & \therefore \text { In temperature } \\ & \end{aligned} $ $ \begin{aligned} \Delta t & =\frac{\Delta Q}{m s}=\frac{2}{5} \frac{m r^2 \pi^2 n^2}{m \cdot s} \\ & =\frac{2}{5} \frac{r^2 \pi^2 n^2}{s} \end{aligned} $
