A meter rule is freely pivoted about its centre. A piece of putty of mass 20 g travelling at 5 ms-1 strikes and adheres to one end of the rule so that the rule starts to rotate in a horizontal circle. Given that the moment of inertia of the rule and putty about pivot is 0.02 kg m2, the initial angular velocity of the rule is
  1. 1.58 rad s-1
  2. 2.24 rad s-1
  3. 2.50 rad s-1
  4. 5.00 rad s-1

Answer

(C) 2.50 rad s -1
