An ice block is placed at the center of a circular table. The system is rotated about the axis of the table with an angular velocity $\omega$. If the ice starts melting without evaporation,the rotational speed of the system will:

  • A
    become zero
  • B
    remain constant at the same value of $\omega$
  • C
    become greater than $\omega$
  • D
    become less than $\omega$

$(a)$ $A$ child stands at the centre of a turntable with his two arms outstretched. The turntable is set rotating with an angular speed of $40\; rev/min$. How much is the angular speed of the child if he folds his hands back and thereby reduces his moment of inertia to $2/5$ times the initial value? Assume that the turntable rotates without friction.
$(b)$ Show that the child's new kinetic energy of rotation is more than the initial kinetic energy of rotation. How do you account for this increase in kinetic energy?

$A$ smooth uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ has two identical beads of negligible size,each of mass $m$,which can slide freely along the rod. Initially,the two beads are at the center of the rod and the system is rotating with angular velocity ${\omega _0}$ about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through the midpoint of the rod (see figure). There are no external torques. When the beads reach the ends of the rod,the angular velocity of the system is
