$A$ boy stands at the center of a horizontal platform with $2 \ kg$ masses in each hand,held close to his body. The platform rotates about a vertical axis passing through its center at a speed of $2 \ rev/s$. The moment of inertia of the system is $1 \ kg \cdot m^2$. When the boy extends his arms fully with the masses,the moment of inertia becomes $2 \ kg \cdot m^2$. In the second state,the kinetic energy of the system compared to the first state will be:

  • A
    remain unchanged
  • B
    decrease
  • C
    increase
  • D
    remain uncertain

$A$ solid sphere with uniform density and radius $R$ is rotating initially with constant angular velocity $\omega_1$ about its diameter. After some time,it starts losing mass at a uniform rate,with no change in its shape. The angular velocity of the sphere when its radius becomes $R/2$ is $x\omega_1$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . .
