a cubical block of side a moving with velocity v on a horizontal smooth plane hits a ridge at point o. angular speed of block after it hits o is



Initial angular momentum of the block,
Li=Mv×AC=12Mva
Angular momentum of the block after it hits the point O,
Lf=Ioω
From Parallel axis theorem,
Io=Ic+M×OC2=16Ma2+M×AC2+AO2=16Ma2+12Ma2=23Ma2
Using conservation of Angular momentum,
12Mva=23Ma2ωω=3v4a
