PhysicsNEET 2025Torque, angular momentum and their conservation

System of Particles and Rotational Motion

The Sun rotates around its centre once in 27 days. What will be the period of revolution if the Sun were to expand to twice its present radius without any external influence? Assume the Sun to be a sphere of uniform density.

  1. A.100 days
  2. B.105 days
  3. C.115 days
  4. D.108 days

Solution

No external torque, so is conserved. for a uniform sphere, so doubling quadruples and the period becomes days.
