Rotational Kinematics & Dynamics

Figure

As shown in the figure, a bob of mass m is tied by a massless string whose other end portion is wound on a fly wheel (disc) of radius r and mass m. When released from rest the bob starts falling vertically. When it has covered a distance of h, the angular speed of the wheel will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Energy: mgh=12mv2+12(12mr2)ω2mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}mr^2\right)\omega^2 with v=ωrv = \omega r.
  2. mgh=34mω2r2⇒ω2=4gh3r2mgh = \frac{3}{4}m\omega^2r^2 \Rightarrow \omega^2 = \frac{4gh}{3r^2}
  3. So the answer is (c) 1r4gh3\frac{1}{r}\sqrt{\frac{4gh}{3}}.
