Expert Solution

Step 1

Scenario:

A man is hanging from the top and bounded by a chain such that man is rotating on the chain.

Let's find why the man said "I'm not even moving, it's doing on it's own" at the end.

Step 2

By $\vec{L}$ conservation :

We know,

Total $L (a n g u l a r m o m e n t u m)$ of system is conserved if net torque is zero.

Therefore, In this scenario, a man is rotating about its axis and rotating across the chain and thus no external torque is experienced by man. Consequently, chain is rotating in its own to conserve the $L$ of the system.

Mathematically,

$L = I ω = r \times p$

here,

$τ = 0 \Rightarrow τ = \frac{d L}{d t} = 0 \Rightarrow L = c o n s t a n t$

Thus, option(d) is correct.
