From the diagram, the angular speed will increase clockwise, the sign of the angular acceleration will be negative and the direction of rotation will be clockwise direction and the sign of the angular acceleration is negative. The correct answer is option B
Given that two objects of masses m1 and m2 are attached to a seesaw. The seesaw is made of a bar that has length l and is pivoted so that it is free to rotate in the vertical plane without friction. Counterclockwise is considered the positive rotational direction.
If m1 is 24 kilograms, m2 is 12 kilograms, and mbar is 10 kilograms, The moment of object m1 will be equal to the moment of object m2 without the Mbar
Let assume that the length L of the seesaw is 9 cm.
Anticlockwise moment = 24 x 9/3 = 72Nm
Clockwise moment = 12 x 2(9/3) = 72 Nm
With the consideration of mass of the bar Mbar, this will add to clockwise moment of the seesaw.
Therefore, the direction of rotation will be clockwise direction.
Angular acceleration is positive when object is speeding up and negative when slowing down. Also, angular acceleration is positive when speed increases in an anticlockwise direction and negative when speed increases in the clockwise direction.
From the diagram, since the angular speed increase clockwise, the sign of the angular acceleration will be negative.
We can conclude that the direction of rotation will be clockwise direction and the sign of the angular acceleration is negative.
The correct answer is option B
