A thin circular ring of mass M and radius r is rotating about its axis with an angular speed ω. Two particles having mass m each are now attached at diametrically opposite points. The angular speed of the ring will become :

(1) \(\omega\frac{M}{M+m}\)

(2) \(\omega\frac{M+2m}{M}\)

(3) \(\omega\frac{M}{M+2m}\)

(4) \(\omega\frac{M-2m}{M+2m}\)

Correct option is (3) \(\omega\frac{M}{M+2m}\) 

Using conservation of angular momentum

(Mr2)ω = (Mr2 + 2mr2)ω'

ω' = \(\frac{M\omega}{M+2m}\)
