A disc is free to rotate about a smooth ...

A disc is free to rotate about a smooth horizontal axis passing through its centre of mass. A particle is fixed at the top of the disc. A slight push is given to the disc and it starts rotating. During the process.

A

only mechanical energy is conserved

B

only angular momentum (about the axis of rotation) is conserved

C

both mechanical energy and angular momentum are conserved

D

Neither the mechanical energy nor the angular momentum are conserved.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Angular momentum will not remain conserved due to a torque of weight of particle about axis of rotation.

A disc of mass M = 2m and radius R is pivoted at its centre. The disc is free to rotate in the vertical plane about its horizontal axis through its centre O. A particle of mass m is stuck on the periphery of the disc. Find the frequency of small oscillations of the system about its equilibrium position.

Two men each of mass m stand on the rim of a horizontal circular disc, diametrically opposite to each other. The disc has a mass M and is free to rotate about a vertical axis passing through its centre of mass. Each mass start simultaneously along the rim clockwise and reaches their original starting positions on the disc. The angle turned through by disc with respect to the ground (in radian) is

A man of mass m_1 stands on the edge of a horizontal uniform disc of mass m_2 and radius R which is capable of rotating freely about a stationary vertical axis passing through its centre. At a certain moment the man starts moving along the edge of the disc, he shifts over an angle varphi^' relative to the disc and then stops. In the process of motion the velocity of the man varies with time as v^'(t) . Assuming the dimensions of the man to be negligible, find: (a) the angle through which the disc had turned by the moment the man stopped, (b) the force moment (relative to the rotation axis) with which the man acted on the disc in the process of motion.

An uniform disc is rotating at a constant speed in a vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis passing through the centre of the disc. A piece of the disc from its rim detaches itself from the disc at the instant when it is at horizontal level with the centre of the disc and moving upwards, then about the fixed axis. STATEMENT-1 : Angular speed of the disc about the aixs of rotation will increase. and STATEMENT-2 : Moment of inertia of the disc is decreased about the axis of rotation.
