Rotational Kinematics & Dynamics

A cord is wound round the circumference of wheel of radius r. The axis of the wheel is horizontal and the moment of inertia about it is I. A weight mg is attached to the cord at the end. The weight falls from rest. After falling through a distance 'h', the square of angular velocity of wheel will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Energy: mgh=12mv2+12Iω2mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 with v=ωrv = \omega r.
  2. mgh=12ω2(I+mr2)mgh = \frac{1}{2}\omega^2(I + mr^2)
  3. So the answer is (b) ω2=2mghI+mr2\omega^2 = \frac{2mgh}{I + mr^2}.
