#rotational state

1 public question tagged with this topic.

Why does a body with zero net torque maintain its rotational state?

Zero net torque (τ = 0) means no change in angular momentum (dLdt = 0), so the rotational state (angular velocity) remains constant. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Due to no change in angular momentum. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
