A circular platform is mounted on a frictionless vertical axle. Its radius R = 2 m and its moment of inertia about the axle is . It is initially at rest. A 50 kg man stands on the edge of the platform and begins to walk along the edge at the speed of relative to the ground. Time taken by the man to complete one revolution is

Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Using conservation
L i = 0 (Initial moment)
L f = mvR � I _ (Final moment)
According to the conservation of momentum
L i = L f
_ mvR � I. _ = 0
mvR = I. _
_ = ( 1 2 )
( v + _ R ) t = 2 � R
t ( 1 + 1 2 _ 2 ) = 2 � _ 2
t = 2 � sec.
