- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Set up the motion variable
Let be the horizontal displacement of the disk’s centre from the equilibrium position.
Since the springs are attached symmetrically to the axle and the disk remains oriented with axle horizontal, each spring changes length by . So total restoring force on the disk is
Thus the translational restoring force is like an SHO with effective spring constant .
- Include rolling constraint
The disk rolls without slipping, so translational and rotational motions are coupled.
For translation: where is the friction force.
For rotation about the centre:
For rolling without slipping: (signs imply friction provides the needed torque).
For a uniform disk,
Hence (up to sign convention; in magnitude, ).
Substitute into translation equation in consistent magnitude form using effective inertia: So
Therefore the motion is SHM with
- Use the initial condition to get amplitude
Initially the disk is at equilibrium () and given speed . So the SHM amplitude is
Hence maximum acceleration is
Using , the maximum required static friction is
For no slipping, So
Now Therefore
=\mu g\sqrt{\frac{3M}{k}}.$$ --- 4. **Match with options** $$V_{0,\max}=\mu g\sqrt{\frac{3M}{k}}$$ which is **Option C**. --- 5. **Comparison with stored answer** Stored correct answer: **C** Our derived answer: **C** So they agree.More from Rotational Motion
