Correct Answer - Option 3 : Torque on the body is zero.

CONCEPT:

  • Torque: The measure of the force that causes an object to rotate about an axis is known as torque.
  • Angular momentum: The product of the Moment of Inertia of the body and angular velocity is known as angular momentum.
  • Conservation of angular momentum: When there is no net torque on the body, its angular momentum is conserved.


EXPLANATION:

  • Angular momentum Conservation: When in a system, there is no external torque then the total angular momentum (L) of the system will be conserved.
  • So when in a system angular momentum is constant, it means net external torque on the body will be zero.
  • Hence the correct answer is option 3.
