Rotational Motion
A uniform circular disk of radius 0.2 m and mass 1 kg is pivoted at its top point $C$ such that it can rotate freely around $C$ in the $X Y$ plane, as shown in the figure. Initially, when the disk is at rest, a particle of mass 20 g , travelling along negative $x$ direction in the $X Y$ plane with speed $100 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$, hits the circumference of the disk at a point $P$. After collision the particle moves along negative $y$ direction at a speed of $90 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$.

Consider a large disk of radius R and two smaller disks, each of radius r = R / 50, lying on its circumference, as shown in the figure. The smaller disks are initially in contact with each other, with an angular separation Δθ between their centers. They are made to roll without slipping in opposite directions, with constant angular velocities ω and 2ω while the large disk is held stationary. The time τ at which the smaller disks are again in contact is:

A solid cylinder of radius R rolls without slipping with a center of mass speed v0 = $\sqrt{\frac{gR}{3}}$ on a horizontal surface with a vertical edge, as shown in the figure.

The center of a disk of radius $r$ and mass $m$ is attached to a spring of spring constant $k$, inside a ring of radius $R>r$ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following the Hooke's law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$. The correct expression for $\omega$ is ( $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):

$ \sqrt{\frac{2}{3} \left( \frac{g}{R - r} + \frac{k}{m} \right)} $
$ \sqrt{\frac{2g}{3(R - r)} + \frac{k}{m}} $

[Given: The acceleration due to gravity $g=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$ ]
Explanation:
Initially at rest, the coin experiences a change in linear momentum due to the applied linear impulse, leading to the equation :
$ m v_{\text{cm}} = J_{\text{lin}} $.
where $ m $ is the mass of the coin, $ v_{\text{cm}} $ is its center of mass velocity after the impulse, and $ J_{\text{lin}} $ is the magnitude of the linear impulse.
After the impulse, the center of mass of the coin ascends with an initial velocity $ v_{\text{cm}} $. Under the influence of gravity, the coin returns to its original position in a time duration expressed by :
$ t = \frac{2 v_{\text{cm}}}{g} = \frac{2 J_{\text{lin}}}{mg} $,
where $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity, $ J_{\text{lin}} $ is the linear impulse applied, and $ m $ is the mass of the coin.
The coin undergoes rotation about its axis, and the angular impulse exerted on it around its center is described by the equation :
$ J_{\text{ang}} = d J_{\text{lin}} = \left( \frac{r}{2} \right) J_{\text{lin}} $,
where $ J_{\text{ang}} $ is the angular impulse, $ d $ is the distance from the center at which the linear impulse $ J_{\text{lin}} $ is applied, and $ r $ is the radius of the coin.
The angular impulse leads to a change in the angular momentum of the coin about a horizontal axis passing through its center. This relationship is given by :
$ I_{\text{cm}} \omega = L_{\text{ang}} = \left( \frac{r}{2} \right) J_{\text{lin}} $,
where $ I_{\text{cm}} $ is the moment of inertia of the coin about its center of mass, $ \omega $ is the angular velocity after the impulse, and $ L_{\text{ang}} $ is the angular momentum resulting from the angular impulse $ J_{\text{ang}} $.
The angular speed of the coin, denoted as $ \omega $, is determined by the equation :
$ \omega = \frac{(r / 2) J_{\text{lin}}}{I_{\text{cm}}} = \frac{(r / 2) J_{\text{lin}}}{(1 / 4) m r^2} = \frac{2 J_{\text{lin}}}{m r} $,
where $ r $ is the radius of the coin, $ J_{\text{lin}} $ is the linear impulse applied, $ m $ is the mass of the coin, and $ I_{\text{cm}} $ is its moment of inertia about the center of mass.
After tossing, the angular speed of the coin remains constant because there is no external torque. The number of rotations \( n \) completed by the coin during the time \( t \) is calculated as :
$ n = \frac{\theta}{2\pi} = \frac{\omega t}{2\pi} = \frac{2 J_{\text{lin}}^2}{\pi m^2 g r} $
Substituting the given values, it becomes :
$ n = \frac{2 \left( \frac{\pi}{2} \times 10^{-4} \right)}{\pi \left( 5 \times 10^{-3} \right)^2 \times 10 \times \left( \frac{4}{3} \times 10^{-2} \right)} = 30 $.
where $ \theta $ is the total angular displacement, $ \omega $ is the angular speed of the coin, $ J_{\text{lin}} $ is the linear impulse, $ m $ is the mass of the coin, $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity, and $ r $ is the radius of the coin.
Explanation:
Moment of inertia about the axis of rotation is
$ I=m_1 r_1^2+m_2 r_2^2 $
Clearly $r_1=4 \mathrm{~cm}$
And $r_2=6 \mathrm{~cm}$
$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore I=\left(30 \times 10^{-3} \times 16 \times 10^{-4}\right)+\left(20 \times 10^{-3} \times 36 \times 10^{-4}\right) \\\\ & \Rightarrow I=1200 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2 \end{aligned} $
If the system is rotated by small angle ' $\theta$ ', the restoring torque is $\tau_{(R)}=-k \theta$
And $\frac{d^2 \theta}{d t^2}=\frac{-k}{l} \cdot \theta=-\omega^2 \theta=\frac{-1.2 \times 10^{-8}}{1200 \times 10^{-7}} \cdot \theta$
$ \therefore \omega^2=10^{-4} $
$\begin{aligned} & \text { So, } \omega=\frac{1}{100} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \\\\ & \Rightarrow \omega=10 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$
A flat surface of a thin uniform disk $A$ of radius $R$ is glued to a horizontal table. Another thin uniform disk $B$ of mass $M$ and with the same radius $R$ rolls without slipping on the circumference of $A$, as shown in the figure. A flat surface of $B$ also lies on the plane of the table. The center of mass of $B$ has fixed angular speed $\omega$ about the vertical axis passing through the center of $A$. The angular momentum of $B$ is $n M \omega R^{2}$ with respect to the center of $A$. Which of the following is the value of $n$ ?

Which one of the following options is correct?
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} & \theta=\omega_0 t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \theta=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3}(\sqrt{\pi})^2 \\\\ &=\frac{\pi}{3} \mathrm{rad} \end{aligned} $
and the angular velocity of disc is
$ \begin{aligned} \omega & =\omega_0+\alpha t \\\\ = & \frac{2 \sqrt{\pi}}{3} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} \\\\ \text { and } v_{\mathrm{cm}} & =\omega R=\frac{2 \sqrt{\pi}}{3} \times 1 \\\\ & =\frac{2 \sqrt{\pi}}{3} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \end{aligned} $
So, at the moment it detaches the situation is
$v=\sqrt{(\omega R)^2+v_{\mathrm{cm}}^2+2(\omega R) v_{\mathrm{cm}} \cos 120^{\circ}}$
$=v_{\mathrm{cm}}=\frac{2 \sqrt{\pi}}{3} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
and $\tan \theta=\frac{\omega R \sin 120^{\circ}}{v_{\mathrm{cm}}+\omega R \cos 120^{\circ}}$
$\Rightarrow \tan \theta=\sqrt{3}$
$\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{3} \mathrm{rad}$
So, $H_{\max }=\frac{u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 g}$
$=\frac{\left(\frac{2 \sqrt{\pi}}{3}\right)^2 \times \sin ^2 60^{\circ}}{2 \times 10}$
$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{4 \pi \times 3}{9 \times 2 \times 10 \times 4} \\\\ & =\frac{\pi}{60} \mathrm{~m} \end{aligned} $
So, height from ground will be
$ = R\left(1-\cos 60^{\circ}\right)+\frac{\pi}{60}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{x}{10}$
$ \Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{6}=0.52 $

$ \begin{aligned} & 5-1=\frac{7}{5} m R^2 \alpha \\\\ & \Rightarrow \quad \alpha=\frac{20}{7} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2 \end{aligned} $
So, $a_{\mathrm{cm}}=\alpha R=\frac{20}{7} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$
$ a_{\mathrm{cm}}=2.86 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2 $
Explanation:

Angular momentum of disc about O is
${L_{DO}} = M\left( {{{3a} \over 4}} \right)\left( {{{3a} \over 4}} \right)\Omega + {M \over 2}{\left( {{a \over 4}} \right)^2}(4\Omega )$
Angular momentum of rod about O is
${L_{RO}} = {{M{a^2}} \over 3}\Omega $
So, ${L_O} = {L_{DO}} + {L_{RO}} = {{49} \over {48}}(M{a^2}\Omega )$
So, n = 49

Explanation:
The vector $\overrightarrow A = \alpha \widehat i$ has a magnitude a and its direction is fixed. The vector $\overrightarrow B = a(\cos \omega t\widehat i + \sin \omega t\widehat j)$ rotates with an angular speed $\omega$ = $\pi$ / 6 rad/s in a circle of radius a. The magnitude of the sum and the difference of these vectors are given by
$\left| {\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B } \right| = \left| {(a + a\cos \omega t)\widehat i + a\sin \omega t\widehat j} \right|$
$ = a\sqrt {{{(1 + \cos \omega t)}^2} + {{\sin }^2}\omega t} $
$ = 2a\cos (\omega t/2)$.
$\left| {\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B } \right| = \left| {(a - a\cos \omega t)\widehat i - a\sin \omega t\widehat j} \right|$
$ = 2a\sin (\omega t/2)$
Hence,
${{\left| {\overrightarrow A - \overrightarrow B } \right|} \over {\left| {\overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B } \right|}} = \tan {{\omega t} \over 2} = {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}$,
which gives $t = \tau = (2/\omega )(\pi /6) = 2$ s.
Explanation:
Given, h = height of the top of inclined plane = ?, $\theta$ = 60$^\circ$, g = 10 m s$-$2 and time difference between ring and disc reaching ground = ${{2 - \sqrt 3 } \over {\sqrt {10} }}$ s
We know that, $a = {{g\sin \theta } \over {1 + {I \over {M{R^2}}}}}$
For ring, $I = M{R^2}$ and for disc $I = {3 \over 2}M{R^2}$.
So, ${a_{ring}} = {{g\sin \theta } \over 2}$ and ${a_{disk}} = {{2g\sin \theta } \over 3}$
Now using $s = {1 \over 2}a{t^2}$
${s_{ring}} = {1 \over 2}\left( {{{g\sin \theta } \over 2}} \right)t_1^2 \Rightarrow {h \over {\sin \theta }} = {1 \over 2}\left( {{{g\sin \theta } \over 2}} \right)t_1^2$ ...... (1)
${s_{disk}} = {1 \over 2}\left( {{{2g\sin \theta } \over 3}} \right)t_2^2 \Rightarrow {h \over {\sin \theta }} = {1 \over 2}\left( {{{2g\sin \theta } \over 3}} \right)t_2^2$ ...... (2)
Given, ${t_1} - {t_2} = {{2 - \sqrt 3 } \over {\sqrt {10} }}$
From Eq. (1), we have ${t_1} = \sqrt {{{4h} \over {g{{\sin }^2}\theta }}} $
and from Eq. (2), we have ${t_2} = \sqrt {{{3h} \over {g{{\sin }^2}\theta }}} $
So, $\sqrt {{{4h} \over {g{{\sin }^2}\theta }}} - \sqrt {{{3h} \over {g{{\sin }^2}\theta }}} = {{2 - \sqrt 3 } \over {\sqrt {10} }}$
$ \Rightarrow \sqrt {{{4h} \over {10{{\sin }^2}60^\circ }}} - \sqrt {{{3h} \over {10{{\sin }^2}60^\circ }}} = {{2 - \sqrt 3 } \over {\sqrt {10} }}$
$ \Rightarrow \sqrt {{{16h} \over {3 \times 10}}} - \sqrt {{{4h} \over {10}}} = {{2 - \sqrt 3 } \over {\sqrt {10} }}$
$ \Rightarrow {{4\sqrt h } \over {\sqrt 3 }} - 2\sqrt h = 2 - \sqrt 3 $
$ \Rightarrow \sqrt h \left( {{4 \over {\sqrt 3 }} - 2} \right) = (2 - \sqrt 3 )$
$ \Rightarrow \sqrt h {{(4 - 2\sqrt 3 )} \over {\sqrt 3 }} = (2 - \sqrt 3 )$
$ \Rightarrow \sqrt h \times {2 \over {\sqrt 3 }}(2 - \sqrt 3 ) = (2 - \sqrt 3 ) \Rightarrow \sqrt h = {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$
$ \Rightarrow h = {3 \over 4} = 0.75$ m

Now, consider a smooth slot along a diameter of a disc of radius R rotating counter-clockwise with a constant angular speed $\omega$ about its vertical axis through its centre. We assign a coordinate system with the origin at the centre of the disc, the X-axis along the slot, the Y-axis perpendicular to the slot and the Z-axis along the rotation axis ($\omega$ = $\omega$ $\widehat k$). A small block of mass m is gently placed in the slot at r = (R/2)$\widehat i$ at t = 0 and is constrained to move only along the slot.
The distance r of the block at time t is
$\overrightarrow F $rot = $\overrightarrow F $in + 2m ($\overrightarrow v $rot $\times$ $\overrightarrow \omega $) + m ($\overrightarrow \omega $ $\times$ $\overrightarrow r $) $\times$ $\overrightarrow \omega $,
where, vrot is the velocity of the particle in the rotating frame of reference and r is the position vector of the particle with respect to the centre of the disc.

Consider a spherical shell of radius r and small thickness dr.

The volume of the shell is $dV = 4\pi {r^2}dr$ and its mass is
$dm = \rho dV = 4\pi \rho {r^2}dr$.
The moment of inertia of the spherical shell of mass dm and radius r about an axis passing through its centre O is given by $dI = {2 \over 3}dm\,{r^2}$. Substitute the expressions for dm and $\rho$ and then integrate to get the moment of inertia of the two spheres.
${I_A} = \int_0^R {{2 \over 3}(4\pi {\rho _A}{r^4})dr = {{8\pi k} \over {3R}}\int_0^R {{r^5}dr = {{8\pi k{R^5}} \over {18}}} } $,
${I_B} = \int_0^R {{2 \over 3}(4\pi {\rho _B}{r^4})dr = {{8\pi k} \over {3{R^5}}}\int_0^R {{r^9}dr = {{8\pi k{R^5}} \over {30}}} } $.
Divide to get ${I_B}/{I_A} = 6/10$.
Explanation:
Suppose mass and radius of each disc are m and R respectively. Also potential energy at points B and D is zero i.e., they are on reference line.
Given final kinetic energy for each disc is same, say it is K.
Applying energy conservation principle,
For surface AB,
${1 \over 2}{I_2}\omega _1^2 + mg \times 30 = K$ ..... (i)
For surface CD,
${1 \over 2}{I_2}\omega _2^2 + mg \times 27 = K$ ..... (ii)
From eqns. (i) and (ii), we get
${1 \over 2}{I_2}\omega _1^2 + mg \times 30 = {1 \over 2}{I_2}\omega _2^2 + mg \times 27$ ...... (iii)
Here, ${\omega _1} = {{{v_1}} \over R}$, ${\omega _2} = {{{v_2}} \over R}$, v1 = 3 m s$-$1, v2 = ?
I1 = I2 = Moment of inertia of disc about the point of contact $ = {1 \over 2}m{R^2} + m{R^2} = {3 \over 2}m{R^2}$
From eqn. (iii), ${1 \over 2}\left( {{3 \over 2}m{R^2}} \right) \times {\left( {{3 \over R}} \right)^2} + m \times 10 \times 30$
$ = {1 \over 2}\left( {{3 \over 2}m{R^2}} \right) \times {\left( {{{{v_2}} \over R}} \right)^2} + m \times 10 \times 27$
${{27} \over 4} + 300 = {3 \over 4}v_2^2 + 270$
${3 \over 4}v_2^2 = {{27} \over 4} + 30 \Rightarrow 3v_2^2 = 147$
$v_2^2 = 49$ $\therefore$ v2 = 7 m s$-$1
Explanation:
The total torque by the three forces about the centre of mass O is
$\tau$ = 3F| OP | = 3F R/2.
The monent of inertia of the disc about the axis of rotation is $I = {1 \over 2}M{R^2}$. Using $\tau$ = I$\alpha$, we get
$\alpha = {\tau \over I} = {{3F} \over {MR}} = {{3 \times 0.5} \over {1.5 \times 0.5}} = 2$ rad/s2.
The angular velocity after t = 1 is given by
$\omega = {\omega _0} + \alpha t = 0 + 2 \times 1 = 2$ rad/s.
A horizontal circular platform of radius 0.5 m and mass 0.45 kg is free to rotate about its axis. Two massless spring toy-guns, each carrying a steel ball of mass 0.05 kg are attached to the platform at a distance 0.25 m from the centre on its either sides along its diameter (see figure). Each gun simultaneously fires the balls horizontally and perpendicular to the diameter in opposite directions. After leaving the platform, the balls have horizontal speed of 9 ms-1 with respect to the ground. The rotational speed of the platform in rad s-1 after the balls leave the platform is
Explanation:
${L_i} = 0$,
${L_f} = mvr + mvr + I\omega = 2mvr + {1 \over 2}M{R^2}\omega $.
The conservation of angular momentum, Li = Lf, gives
$\omega = - {{4mvr} \over {M{R^2}}} = - {{4(0.05)(9)(0.25)} \over {0.45{{(0.5)}^2}}} = - 4$ rad/s.
Explanation:
Consider the disc and the rings together as a system. Since the external torque $\vec{\Gamma}_{\text {ext }}$ is zero, the angular momentum of the system about the vertical axis through $O$ is conserved, which can be expressed as:
$ I_i \omega_i = I_f \omega_f $
Initially, the moment of inertia is due to the disc alone, and its value is:
$ I_i = \frac{1}{2} M R^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 50 \times 0.4^2 = 4 \mathrm{~kg \cdot m}^2 $
The moment of inertia of a ring with mass $m$ and radius $r$ about an axis perpendicular to its center is $m r^2$. Using the theorem of parallel axes, the ring's moment of inertia about the axis of rotation is given by:
$ I_{\text{ring}} = m r^2 + m d^2 = 2 m r^2 $
where $d = r$ is the distance between the parallel axes. Thus, the moment of inertia of the complete system in the final configuration is:
$ \begin{aligned} I_f &= \frac{1}{2} M R^2 + 2 m r^2 + 2 m r^2 \\ &= \frac{1}{2} (50)(0.4)^2 + 2 \left(2(6.25)(0.2)^2\right) = 5 \mathrm{~kg \cdot m}^2 \end{aligned} $
With no external torque acting on the system, the angular momentum is conserved:
$ \begin{aligned} I_i \omega_i &= I_f \omega_f \\ 4 \times 10 &= 5 \omega_f \\ \omega_f &= 8 \mathrm{~rad/s} \end{aligned} $
A lamina is made by removing a small disc of diameter 2R from a bigger disc of uniform mass density and radius 2R, as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia of this lamina about axes passing through O and P is IO and IP respectively. Both these axes are perpendicular to the plane of the lamina. The ratio IP/IO to the nearest integer is ____________.

Explanation:
T = Total portion
R = Remaining portion and
C = Cavity and
Then, ${m_T} = \pi {(2R)^2}\sigma = 4\pi {R^2}\sigma $
${m_C} = \pi {(R)^2}\sigma = \pi {R^2}\sigma $
For IP

${I_R} = {I_T} - {I_C}$
$ = {3 \over 2}{m_T}{(2R)^2} - \left[ {{1 \over 2}{m_C}{R^2} + {m_C}{r^2}} \right]$
$ = {3 \over 2}(4\pi {R^2}\sigma )(4{R^2}) - \left[ {{1 \over 2}(\pi {R^2}\sigma ) + (\pi {R^2}\sigma )(5{R^2})} \right]$
$ = (18.5\pi {R^4}\sigma )$
For IO
${I_R} = {I_T} - {I_C}$
$ = {1 \over 2}{m_T}{(2R)^2} - {3 \over 2}{m_C}{R^2}$
$ = {1 \over 2}(4\pi {R^2}\sigma )(4{R^2}) - {3 \over 2}(\pi {R^2}\sigma )({R^2})$
$ = 6.5\pi {R^4}\sigma $
$\therefore$ ${{{I_P}} \over {{I_O}}} = {{18.5\pi {R^4}\sigma } \over {6.5\pi {R^4}\sigma }} = 2.846$
Therefore, the nearest integer is 3.
Which of the following statements about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?

A small mass m is attached to a massless string whose other end is fixed at P as shown in the figure. The mass is undergoing circular motion in the xy-plane with centre at O and constant angular speed $\omega$. If the angular momentum of the system, calculated about O and P are denoted by ${\overrightarrow L _O}$ and ${\overrightarrow L _P}$, respectively, then

A thin uniform rod, pivoted at O, is rotating in the horizontal plane with constant angular speed $\omega$, as shown in the figure. At time t = 0, a small insect starts from O and moves with constant speed v, with respect to the rod towards the other end. It reaches the end of the rod at t = T and stops. The angular speed of the system remains $\omega$ throughout. The magnitude of the torque (|$\tau$|) about O, as a function of time is best represented by which plot ?
