A thin horizontal circular disc is rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre. An insect is at rest at a point near the rim of the disc. The insect now moves along a diameter of the disc to reach its other end. During the journey of the insect, the angular speed of the disc
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
From angular momentum conservation about vertical axis passing through centre. When insect is coming from circumference to center. Moment of inertia first decrease then increase. So angular velocity inecrease then decrease.
