Question

A solid sphere with uniform density and radius is rotating initially with constant angular velocity about its diameter. After some time during the rotation its starts loosing mass at a uniform rate, with no change in its shape. The angular velocity of the sphere when its radius become is . The value of is _________.

Correct answer
32

Step-by-step explanation

When sphere is of radius , its mass is , when radius is reduced to , mass will reduced to

Now by conservation of angular momentum

value of x is 32

Answer is 32
