A uniform rod of mass m and length l can rotate freely on a smooth horizontal plane about a vertical axis hinged at point H. A point mass having same mass m coming with an initial speed u perpendicular to the rod, strikes the rod inelastically at its free end. Find out the angular velocity of the rod just after collision?

(1) 3u/l

(2) 3u/4l

(3) u/4l

Correct Answer is: (2) 3u/4l

Angular momentum is conserved about H because no external force is present in horizontal plane which is producing torque about H.
