JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th April Evening Slot - No. 1)

A thin smooth rod of length L and mass M is rotating freely with angular speed $$\omega $$0 about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through its center. Two beads of mass m and negligible size are at the center of the rod initially. The beads are free to slide along the rod. The angular speed of the system , when the beads reach the opposite ends of the rod, will be :-
$${{M{\omega _0}} \over {M + 3m}}$$
$${{M{\omega _0}} \over {M + m}}$$
$${{M{\omega _0}} \over {M + 6m}}$$
$${{M{\omega _0}} \over {M + 2m}}$$

Explanation

Initial angular momentum = Final Angular Momentum

$${{M{L^2}} \over {12}}{\omega _0} = \left( {{{M{L^2}} \over {12}} + 2{{m{L^2}} \over 4}} \right)\omega $$

$$ \Rightarrow \omega = {{M{\omega _0}} \over {M + 6m}}$$
