Answer: Increases.
- A Increases
- B Decreases
- C Remains same
- D Becomes zero
Correct answer: A. Increases
Explanation: Tucking in reduces the moment of inertia. By conservation of angular momentum (no external torque during dive), ω increases.
Torque about axis O equals the force F multiplied by the perpendicular distance r⊥ from the axis to the line of action of the force, producing rotation.
Concept context
Moment of inertia, torque, angular momentum, rolling motion. Very high JEE weightage.
