Explain why friction is necessary to make the disc in Fig. 7.41 roll in the direction indicated.
(a) Give the direction of frictional force at B, and the sense of frictional torque, before perfect rolling begins.
(b) What is the force of friction after perfect rolling begins ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Frictional force at B opposes velocity of B. Therefore, frictional force is in the same direction as the arrow. The sense of frictional torque is such as to oppose angular motion. `omega_(o)andtau` are both normal to the paper, the first into the paper, and the second coming out of the paper.
(b) Frictional force decreases the velocity of the point of contact B. Perfect rolling ensues when this velocity is zero. Once this is so, the force of friction is zero.
