Question
A hoop of radius r and mass m rotating with an angular velocity ω0
is placed on a rough horizontal surface.The initial velocity of the centre of the hoop is zero. What will be the velocity of the centre of the hoop when it ceases to slip?
-
rω0/4
-
rω0/3
-
rω0/2
-
rω0
Solution
C.
rω0/2
From conservation of angular momentum about any fixed point on the surface
