Total: 33
A solid disc and a ring, both of radius 10 cm are placed on a horizontaltable simultaneously, with initial angular speed equal to 10 π rad s – 1 . Whichof the two will start to roll earlier? The co-efficient of kinetic friction is µ k = 0.2 .
Solution:
Here, radius of both the ring and solid disc
R = 10 c m = 0.1 m , µ k = 0.2
Moment of inertia of the solid disc=
M R 2
Initial angular velocityω 0 = 10 π rad s – 1
Initial velocity of centre of mass is zero. Frictional force causes the C.M. to accelerate
F = m a ; m a = µ k m g
a = µ k g . . . ( i )
Now,v = u + a t
v = µ k g t ( ∵ u = 0 ) . . . ( i i )
Torque due to friction causes retardation in the initial angular speedω 0
µ k m g × R = − I α
α =
. . . ( i i i )
As ω = ω 0 + α t
∴ ω = ω 0 −
. . . ( i v )
Rolling begins, whenv = R ω
From (ii) and (iv),
µ k g t = R ω 0 −
. . . ( v )
For a ring, I = m R 2
∴ µ k g t = R ω 0 −
µ k g t = R ω 0 − µ k g t ; 2 µ k g t = R ω 0
t 1 =
. . . ( v i )
For a disc,I =
m R 2
∴ From equation (v)µ k g t = R ω 0 −
µ k g t = R ω 0 − 2 µ k g t
3 µ k g t = R ω 0 . . . ( v i i )
t 2 =
PuttingR = 0.1 m , ω 0 = 10 π rad s − 1 ,
µ k = 0.2
g = 9.8 m s − 2 in equation (vi) and (vii)
t 1 =
= 0.8 s
t 2 =
= 0.53 s
It is clear thatt 2 < t 1 , so disc will start rolling first.
