A circular table rotates about a vertical axis with a constant angular speed . A circular pan rests on the turn table (with the centre coinciding with centre of table) and rotates with the table. The bottom of the pan is covered with a uniform small thick layer of ice placed at centre of pan. The ice starts melting. The angular speed of the turn table
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Decreases
The correct answer is Decreases because as the ice melts and spreads, the moment of inertia increases, leading to a decrease in angular speed due to conservation of angular momentum.
