A small particle of massmand its retaining cord is spinning with angular velocityωon the horizontal surface of a smooth disc. As forceFis slightly relaxed,rincreases andωchanges. Determine the rate of change ofωwith respect tor

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

During the motion of the object, there is only one force tension which is acting towards a fixed point (centre of the table - disc). So that motion is under the effect to central force and thus, angular momentum will be conserved. At any radial distance,risL=mωr2

dLdr=mr2dωdr+mω2r=0

So,dωdr= -2ωr
