1. (d)
According to law of conservation of angular momentum, if there is no torque on the system, then the
angular momentum remains constant.
2. (b)
𝐼 = 𝑚1 𝑟12 + 𝑚2 𝑟22

3. (b)
We know that rate of change of angular momentum (𝐽) of a body is equal to the external torque (𝜏)
acting upon the body.
𝑑𝐽
𝑖𝑒. =𝜏
𝑑𝑡

Given, 𝐽1 = 𝐽, 𝐽2 = 5𝐽
∴ ∆𝐽 = 𝐽2 − 𝐽1 = 5𝐽 − 𝐽 = 4𝐽

Hence, 𝜏= 𝐽
