A thin rod of mass 0.9 kg and length 1 m is suspended, at rest, from one end so that it can freely oscillate in the vertical plane. A particle of move 0.1 kg moving in a straight line with velocity 80 m s-1 hits the rod at its bottom most point and sticks to it (see figure). The angular speed (in rad s-1) of the rod immediately after the collision will be …………

The correct answer is: 20

Given,

Mass of the rod, M=0.9 kg

Mass of particle, m=0.1 kg

Length of the rod, l=1 m

Velocity of particle, v=80 m s-1

No external torque acting on the system of rod and particle, so angular momentum of system about the suspension is conserved, i.e.; Li=Lf

mvl=Iω  ...(1)

Where, I is the momentum of inertia of rod and particle system, ω is the angular velocity of system just after the collision.

mvl=Ml23+ml2ω  ...(2)

Substitute the values in equation (2)

0.1×80×1=0.9×(1)23+0.1×(1)2×ω

ω=20 rad s-1
