Laws of Motion 4 Question 5

5. A long horizontal rod has a bead which can slide along its length and is initially placed at a distance L from one end A of the rod. The rod is set in angular motion about A with a constant angular acceleration α. If the coefficient of friction between the rod and bead is μ, and gravity is neglected, then the time after which the bead starts slipping is

(2000,2M)

(a) μα

(b) μα

(c) 1μα

(d) infinitesimal

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 5. (a)

Solution:

  1. Tangential force (Ft) of the bead will be given by the normal reaction (N), while centripetal force (Fc) is provided by friction (fr). The bead starts sliding when the centripetal force is just equal to the limiting friction.

Ft is inwards 

Therefore,

Ft=ma=mαL=N

Limiting value of friction

(fr)max=μN=μmαL

Angular velocity at time t is ω=αt

Centripetal force at time t will be

Fc=mLω2=mLα2t2

Equating Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

t=μα

For t>μα,Fc>(fr)max i.e. the bead starts sliding.

In the figure, Ft is perpendicular to the paper inwards.
