As discussed in

Angular momentum -

vec{L}=vec{r} imes vec{p}

- wherein

vec{L}  represent angular momentum of a moving particle about a point.

it can be calculated  as L=r_1, P=r, P_1

r_1 = Length of perpendicular on line of motion

P_1 = component of momentum along perpendicualar to r

 

K=\frac{L^{2}}{2I}=\frac{L^{2}}{2mr^{2}}

K'=\frac{L^{2}}{2m \frac{r^{2}}{4}}=\frac{4L^{2}}{2mr^{2}}

\frac{K'}{K}=4\:\:\:\:\:\Rightarrow K'=4K

\therefore K.\varepsilon is increased by a factor of 4 


Option 1)

remain constant

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

increase by a factor of 2

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

increase by a factor of 4

This option is correct.

Option 4)

decrease by a factor of 2

This option is incorrect.
