A disc is free to rotate about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. The moment of inertia of the disc about its rotation axis is I. A light ribbon is tightly wrapped over it in multiple layers. The end of the ribbon is pulled out at a constant speed of u. Let the radius of the ribboned disc be R at any time and thickness of the ribbon be `d (lt lt R)`. Find the force (F) required to pull the ribbon as a function of radius R.

Answer

`F = (Idu^(2))/(2piR^(4))`
