JEE Main 2025 · 4 Apr · Shift 2 · Conservation of Angular Momentum

A solid sphere with uniform density and radius RR is rotating initially with constant angular velocity (ω1)\left(\omega_1\right) about its diameter. After some time during the rotation its starts loosing mass at a uniform rate, with no change in its shape. The angular velocity of the sphere when its radius become R/2\mathrm{R} / 2 is xω1x \omega_1. The value of xx is _________.

Answer: 32

Step-by-step solution
