Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of angular momentum,
l $\omega$ = constant
Now, according to the question,
$l_{1}\omega_{1}=l_{2}\omega_{2}$ or $ k\omega= (2l) \omega_{2}$
$\omega_{2}=\frac{\omega}{2}$
New kinetic energy = $[\frac{1}{2}l_{2}\omega_{2}^{2}]= \frac{1}{2}(2l)\times (\frac{\omega}{2})^{2}= \frac{l\omega^{2}}{4}$
loss in kinetic energy (KL)= Ki - Kj
= $\frac{1}{2}l_{}\omega_{}^{2}- \frac{l\omega^{2}}{4}=\frac{l\omega^{2}}{4}$
