Q45 / 160 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Thermodynamics

A metal sphere of radius r and specific heat S is rotated about an axis passing through its centre, at a speed of n rotations per second. It is suddenly stopped and 50 % of its energy is used in increasing its temperature. Then, the rise in temperature of the sphere is

  • Correct answer
    A
    2π2n2r25S
  • B
    π2n210r2S
  • C
    78 πr2n2S
  • D
    5πrn214S

Solution

I=25mr2, ω=2πn

k=12Iω2=12×25mr2×4π2n2

=45π2mr2n2

Δθ=ΔQmS=k2mS

=25π2mr2n2mS

=2π2r2n25S

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
