Rotation 5 Question 26

38. A uniform circular disc has radius R and mass m. A particle, also of mass m, is fixed at a point A on the edge of the disc as shown in the figure. The disc can rotate freely about a horizontal chord PQ that is

at a distance R/4 from the centre C of the disc. The line AC is perpendicular to PQ. Initially the disc is held vertical with the point A at its highest position. It is then allowed to fall, so that it starts rotation about PQ. Find the linear speed of the particle as it reaches its lowest position.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 38. 5gR

Solution:

  1. Initial and final positions are shown below.

Decrease in potential energy of mass

=mg2×5R4=5mgR2

Decrease in potential energy of disc =mg2×R4=mgR2

Therefore, total decrease in potential energy of system

=5mgR2+mgR2=3mgR

Gain in kinetic energy of system =12Iω2

where, I= moment of inertia of system (disc + mass) about

axis PQ

= moment of inertia of disc

  • moment of inertia of mass

=mR24+mR42+m5R42

I=15mR28

From conservation of mechanical energy,

Decrease in potential energy = Gain in kinetic energy

3mgR=1215mR28ω2ω=16g5R

Therefore, linear speed of particle at its lowest point

v=5R4ω=5R416g5Rv=5gR
