JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 8th January Morning Slot - No. 6)

Consider a uniform rod of mass M = 4m and length $$\ell $$ pivoted about its centre. A mass m moving with velocity v making angle $$\theta = {\pi \over 4}$$ to the rod's long axis collides with one end of the rod and sticks to it. The angular speed of the rod-mass system just after the collision is :
$${{3\sqrt 2 } \over 7}{v \over \ell }$$
$${3 \over 7}{v \over \ell }$$
$${3 \over {7\sqrt 2 }}{v \over \ell }$$
$${4 \over 7}{v \over \ell }$$

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 8th January Morning Slot Physics - Rotational Motion Question 140 English Explanation

About hinge(O) net torque $$\tau $$ = 0

So angular momentum is conserved about hinge(O),

Linitial = Lfinal

m$$\left( {{v \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \right)\left( {{l \over 2}} \right)$$ + 0 = $$\left[ {{{4m{l^2}} \over {12}} + m{{\left( {{l \over 2}} \right)}^2}} \right]\omega $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\omega $$ = $${{3\sqrt 2 } \over 7}{v \over \ell }$$
