MCQ
A horizontal platform is rotating with uniform angular velocity around the vertical axis passing through its centre. At some instant of time a viscous fluid of mass $m$ is dropped at the centre and is allowed to spread out and finally fall. The angular velocity during this period
  • A
    decreases continuously
  • decreases initially and increases again
  • C
    remains unaltered
  • D
    increases continuously

Answer

Correct option: B.
decreases initially and increases again
b
When the fluid spreads out, the moment of inertia of the system is increased. If we apply conservation of angular momentum

$I\omega  = {I_1}{\omega _1}$

As $I$ increases due to water spreading out, the angular velocity decrease. When water level falls, $I$ decreases resulting in increased angular velocity
