A thin circular ring of mass $\mathrm{m}$ and radius $\mathrm{R}$ is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity $\omega$. Two objects each of mass $M$ are attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring. The ring now rotates with an angular velocity $\omega^{\prime}=$
  1. $\frac{\omega \mathrm{m}}{(\mathrm{m}+2 \mathrm{M})}$
  2. $\frac{\omega(\mathrm{m}+2 \mathrm{M})}{\mathrm{m}}$
  3. $\frac{\omega(m-2 M)}{(m+2 M)}$
  4. $\frac{\omega m}{(m+M)}$

Solution

$L_i=L_f$ $m R R^2 \omega=\left(m R^2+2 M R^2\right) \omega^{\prime}$ $\omega^{\prime}=\left(\frac{m \omega}{m+2 M}\right)$
