A disc of mass 1 kg and radius R is free of rotate about a horizontal axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of disc. A body of same mass as that of disc is fixed at the highest point of the disc. Now the system is released, when the body comes to the lowest position, its angular speed will be 4x3R rad s-1 where x= _____ .

Solution

Let the angular speed of disc be ω.

Using conservation of mechanical energy

mg2R=12Idisc ω2+12Iparticle ω2

Where, I is moment of inertia.

mg2R=ω22m22+mR2

mg2R=ω2232mR2

34ω2=2gR             

 ω2=8g3R

Thus, angular speed is ω=803R rad s-1

Given ω=4x3R

Comparing both, 16x3R=803R

Therefore, the value of x=5.
