Assertion $:-$ When no external torque is applied and moment of inertia of a rotating body changes,then its angular momentum remains conserved,but its kinetic energy changes.
Reason $:-$ Angular momentum does not depend upon moment of inertia of the body.

$A$ smooth uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ has two identical beads of negligible size,each of mass $m$,which can slide freely along the rod. Initially,the two beads are at the center of the rod and the system is rotating with angular velocity $\omega_0$ about its axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through its mid-point (see figure). There are no external torques. When the beads reach the ends of the rod,the angular velocity of the system is:

$A$ metre stick is pivoted about its centre. $A$ piece of wax of mass $20 \,g$ travelling horizontally and perpendicular to it at $5 \,m/s$ strikes and adheres to one end of the stick so that the stick starts to rotate in a horizontal circle. Given the moment of inertia of the stick and wax about the pivot is $0.02 \,kg \cdot m^2$,the initial angular velocity of the stick is ........... $rad/s$.
