Question

A disc of mass M and radius R is rolling with angular speedc ω on a horizontal plane asshown. The magnitude of angular momentum of the disc about the origion O is
       

Options

A.MR2 ω
B.MR2 ω
C.MR2 ω
D.2MR2 ω

Solution

From the theorem
    
      .........(i)
We may write
Angular momentum about O = Angular momentum about
CM + Angular momentum of CM about origin
∴ L0 = Iω + MRv
     = MR2 ω = MR(Rω) = MR2ω
     
Note that in this case both the terms in Eq (i) i.e., have the same direction ⎔ L0 = Iω + MRv. We will use L0 = Iω ~ MRv if they are in opposite direction as shown in the figure (b).
