A solid sphere is in purely rotational motion about its diameter. The ratio of its angular momentum and kinetic energy is 22 . Find angular velocity of the sphere. ( =22 / 7 )
Options
- A10 rad / s
- B7 rad / s
- C14 rad / s
- D21 rad / s
Correct answer
A. 10 rad / s
Step-by-step solution
Angular momentum and rotational kinetic energy relate through the moment of inertia I = 2 5 MR^2 and angular velocity as L = I and K = 1 2 I ^2 respectively. The ratio simplifies to L K = I 1 2 I ^2 = 2 . Given L K = 22 , we equate 2 = 22 . Solving for angular velocity: = 44 . Substituting = 22 7 yields = 44 7 22 = 14 rad/s. The angular velocity is therefore 14 rad/s.
