A rigid, uniform bar with mass m and length b rotates about the axis passing through the midpoint of the bar perpendicular to the bar. The linear speed of the end points of the bar is v. What is the magnitude of the angular momentum l of the bar?.



Answer :

The magnitude of the angular momentum (L) of the bar is .[tex]\frac{1}{6}mbv[/tex].

From the information given:

The rigid uniform bar has a mass = m

Length of the bar = b, and;

Linear speed of the bar endpoints = v

If we consider taking the angular momentum of the rotation, we have:

L = I × ω

where;

I = moment of the inertia

ω = angular velocity

The moment of the inertia for the given rigid uniform bar can be expressed as:

I = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] X M X L²

where;

M = mass = m

L = bar's length = b

I = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x m x b²

Also, the angular velocity ω can be expressed as:

ω = v/r

where;

radius r = half of the length = b/2

ω = [tex]\frac{v}{\frac{b}{2} }[/tex] = 2v/b

Replacing the value of angular velocity and moment of inertia into the above equation for angular momentum; we have:

L = ([tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] x m x b²) x ([tex]\frac{2v}{b}[/tex])

L = [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] mbv

Therefore, we can conclude that the magnitude of the angular momentum of the bar (L) is 1/6 mbv
