Question

A man of mass 100 kg stands at the rim of a turntable of radius 2m and moment of inertia 4000kgm2 mounted on a vertical frictionless shaft at its center. The whole system is initially at rest. The man now walks along the outer edge of a turntable with a velocity of 1 m/s relative to the earth. With what angular velocity and in what direction does the turntable rotates?

Solution

The correct option is C

120rad/s


Let the man be moving anti-clockwise

(a)By conservation of angular momentum on the man-table system

L1=Lf0+0=Imωm+Itωtωt=ImωmItwhere ωm=Vr=12rad/sωt=100 22×(12)4000

ωm=Vr=12rad/s ωt=120rad/s Thus the table rotates clock-wise (opposite to man) with angular velocity 0.05 rad/s.
