I have the answer.hope it helps you a bit
Concept:
Rotational motion of a rigid body:Angular Momentum and Moment of Inertia.
Given:
Body is rotating in a circumference. Linear speed is continuously decreasing.
Find:
Condition for angular momentum.
Answer:
Angular momentum means a mass in rotational motion. It is the quantity corresponding to linear momentum in a rotational motion. Mathematically it can be expressed as,
J = r x p (Bold letters means vectors)
where J = Angular momentum
r = Radius
p = Linear momentum
J = rp sin -------------- (i)
Now, as linear speed is continuously decreasing, linear momentum will also decrease. (∵ p = mv where m = mass and v = linear speed).
According to equation (i), if linear momentum decreases then angular momentum will also decrease.
Hence, when a body is rotating in a circumference with a lowering linear speed then the condition for angular momentum is that it will increase.
