Angular momentum (L):
- The angular momentum of a rigid body is defined as the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity i.e.,
\(⇒ L = Iω \)
Where I = moment of inertia and ω = angular velocity
Law of conservation of angular momentum:
- When the net external torque acting on a body about a given axis is zero, the total angular momentum of the body about that axis remains constant i.e.,
⇒ I1ω1 = I2ω2
EXPLANATION:
- When a man standing on a revolving platform and spreading his hands suddenly as he stretches his hand that he is increasing his moment of inertia thereby decreasing his angular velocity using the principle of conservation of angular momentum. Therefore option 2 is correct.
