Q. A man turns on a rotating table with an angular speed $\omega$. He is holding two equal masses at arm’s length. Without moving his arms, he just drops the two masses. How will his angular speed change
A) It will be less than $\omega$
B) It will be more than $\omega$
C) It will remain equal to $\omega$
D) May be less than, greater than or equal to $\omega$ depending on the quantity of masses
Explanation
(b) In this process $I$ decreases and $\omega$ increases
