Answer:
KE = 1.75 J
Explanation:
given,
mass of ball, m₁ = 300 g = 0.3 Kg
mass of ball 2, m₂ = 600 g = 0.6 Kg
length of the rod = 40 cm = 0.4 m
Angular speed = 100 rpm=
=10.47\ rad/s
now, finding the position of center of mass of the system
r₁ + r₂ = 0.4 m.....(1)
equating momentum about center of mass
m₁r₁ = m₂ r₂
0.3 x r₁ = 0.6 r₂
r₁ = 2 r₂
Putting value in equation 1
2 r₂ + r₂ = 0.4
r₂ = 0.4/3
r₁ = 0.8/3
now, calculation of rotational energy
KE = 1.75 J
the rotational kinetic energy is equal to 1.75 J
