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:- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Given
- Bob mass
- Flywheel is a disc of mass and radius
- String does not slip, so
- Bob starts from rest and falls through height
We need angular speed after falling distance .
- Use conservation of mechanical energy
Loss in gravitational potential energy of the bob:
This becomes:
- Translational kinetic energy of bob
- Rotational kinetic energy of disc
So,
- Moment of inertia of the disc
For a solid disc about its central axis,
Substitute into energy equation:
Using ,
- Solve for
Hence,
- Match with options
This corresponds to:
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: C
Our derived answer: C
So they agree.
