A horizontal platform is rotating with uniform angular velocity around the vertical axis passing through its centre. At some instant of time a viscous fluid of mass is dropped at the centre and is allowed to spread out and finally fall. The angular velocity during this period
Options
- Adecreases continuously
- Bdecreases initially and increases again
- Cremains unaltered
- Dincreases continuously.
Correct answer
B. decreases initially and increases again
Step-by-step solution
According to law of conservation of momentum,
I When viscous fluid of mass is dropped and start spreading out then its moment of inertia increases and angular velocity decreases. But when it start falling then its moment of inertia again starts decreasing and angular velocity increases.
