Question

Two rotating bodies A and B of masses m and 2m with moments of inertia IA and IB(IB>IA) have equal kinetic energy of rotation. If LA and LB be their angular momenta respectively, then
  1. LA>LB
  2. LA=2LB
  3. LB>LA
  4. LA=LB2

A
LA=2LB
B
LA>LB
C
LA=LB2
D
LB>LA
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The kinetic energy of rotation is given by 12Iω2.
Since the kinetic energy of rotation is same,
IAω2A=IBω2B
ωAωB=IBIA
The ratio of the angular momentum becomes,
LALB=IAωAIBωB
=IAIB<1
LB>LA
