Laws Of Motion Question 14

Question 14 - 2024 (31 Jan Shift 1)

A coin is placed on a disc. The coefficient of friction between the coin and the disc is $\mu$. If the distance of the coin from the center of the disc is $r$, the maximum angular velocity which can be given to the disc, so that the coin does not slip away, is :

(1) $\frac{\mu g}{r}$

(2) $\sqrt{\frac{r}{\mu g}}$

(3) $\sqrt{\frac{\mu g}{r}}$

(4) $\frac{\mu}{\sqrt{rg}}$

Show Answer

Answer: (3)

Solution:

$N=mg$

$f=m \omega^{2} r$

$f=\mu N$

$\mu mg=mr \omega^{2}$

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{\mu g}{r}}$
