A disc of circumference s is at rest at ...

A disc of circumference `s` is at rest at a point `A` on a horizontal surface when a constant horizontal force begins to act on its centre. Between `A` and `B` there is sufficient friction toprevent slipping, and the surface is smooth to the right of `B.AB = s`. The disc moves from `A` to `B` in time `T`. To the right of `B`,
.

A

The angular acceleration of the disc will disappear, linear acceleration will remain unchanged

B

Linear acceleration of the disc will increase

C

The disc will make one rotation in time T / 2

D

The disc will make one rotation in time T / 2

The correct Answer is:
B, C, D

To the rightof B, net force increase so linear acceleration is also increases A to B: F-f = `ma_(1)`
`fR = 1/2 mR^(2) alpha`, `a_(1) = R alpha rArr a_(1) = (2F)/(3m) rArr alpha propto (2F)/(3mR)`
`2pi =1/2 alpha T^(2) rArr T = sqrt((6pi mR)/F)`
`omega_(B) = alpha T = (2F)/(3mR) = sqrt((6pi mR)/F) =2/3 sqrt((6pi F)/(mR))` remains same after crossing B
Time to complete one revolutions after crossing point `B=(2pi)/(omega_(B)) = 1/2sqrt((6pi mR)/(F)) = T/2`
As linear acceleration increases, displacement also increases in time T.
