A rigid metallic sphere is spinning around its own axis in the absence of external torque. If the temperature is raised, its volume increases by 9%. The change in its angular speed is
  1. increases by 9%
  2. decreases by 9%
  3. increases by 6%
  4. decreases by 6%

Solution

(d) In this case, angular momentum, $J=I \omega$ Taken, $v=1$ $V^{\prime}=1.09$ and $\Delta v=0.09$ $\Rightarrow$ $\omega \propto \frac{1}{I}$ But $I \propto r^2 \text { and } \omega \propto v^{1 / 3}$ $\therefore$ $\omega \propto \frac{1}{v^{2 / 3}}\left(\text { or } v^{-2 / 3}\right)$ $\therefore$ Change in angular speed $\begin{aligned} & =\frac{\Delta \omega}{\omega} \times 100=-\frac{2}{3} \frac{\Delta v}{v} \times 100 \\ & =-\frac{2}{3} \times 0.03 \times 100=-6 \% \end{aligned}$ So, angular speed will decrease with $6 \%$.
