a thin rod of length 3.15 m and mass 12.7 kg is rotated at an angular speed of 3.60 rad/s around an axis perpendicular to the rod and through one of its ends. find the magnitude of the rod's angular momentum.



Answer :

The magnitude of the rod's angular momentum is 165.92 [tex]Kg m^{2} s^{-1}[/tex].

The moment of inertia for the rod through an axis 'perpendicular' to one of its ends is given by :

[tex]I=\frac{Ml^{2} }{3}[/tex]                 (where M = mass of rod , l = length of rod)

Now, the angular momentum of the rod is given by;

L= Iω

  = [tex]\frac{Ml^{2} }{3}[/tex]×ω

  =[tex]\frac{12.7Kg * (3.15 m^{2})}{3}[/tex]* [tex]3.95 rad s^{-1}[/tex]

  = 165.92 [tex]Kg m^{2} s^{-1}[/tex]

The required angular momentum is: 165.92 [tex]Kg m^{2} s^{-1}[/tex]

As the rotating equivalent of linear momentum in physics, angular momentum (rarely a moment of momentum or rotational momentum) is used. It is a conserved quantity, meaning that in a closed system, the total angular momentum stays constant, making it a significant physical quantity. The magnitude and direction of angular momentum are both conserved. The conservation of angular momentum is responsible for the useful characteristics of bicycles, motorcycles, frisbee-lead bullets, and gyroscopes. Hurricanes develop spiral structures and neutron stars rotate rapidly due to the conservation of angular momentum. Conservation generally sets a limit on a system's potential motion but does not determine it in any way.
