A solid sphere with uniform density and radius 
is rotating initially with constant angular velocity 
about its diameter. After some time during the rotation its starts loosing mass at a uniform rate, with no change in its shape. The angular velocity of the sphere when its radius become 
is 
. The value of 
is______.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
32
(32)
When sphere is of radius 
, its mass is 
, when radius is reduced to 
, mass will reduced to 
Now by conservation of angular momentum
value of x is 32
Answer is 32
