The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the relationship between the angular velocity \((\omega)\) of a rotating disc and the number of rotations \((n)\) made by the disc when a constant power is supplied, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Power and Energy Relationship**: - Given that a constant power \(P\) is supplied to the rotating disc, the energy \(E\) acquired by the disc over time \(t\) can be expressed as: \[ E = P \cdot t \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. **Express the Rotational Energy**: - The energy of rotation for a disc with moment of inertia \(I\) and angular velocity \(\omega\) is given by: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 3. **Equate the Two Energy Expressions**: - Setting the two expressions for energy equal to each other gives: \[ P \cdot t = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \] 4. **Differentiate with Respect to Time**: - Differentiate both sides with respect to time \(t\): \[ \frac{d}{dt}(P \cdot t) = \frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2\right) \] - This results in: \[ P = \frac{1}{2} I \cdot 2\omega \frac{d\omega}{dt} \implies P = I \omega \frac{d\omega}{dt} \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation**: - Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{d\omega}{dt} = \frac{P}{I \omega} \] 6. **Express in Terms of Angular Position**: - Multiply and divide by \(d\theta\) (the change in angular position): \[ \frac{d\omega}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{P}{I \omega} \] - Since \(\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \omega\), we have: \[ \omega \frac{d\omega}{d\theta} = \frac{P}{I} \] 7. **Separate Variables**: - Rearranging gives: \[ \omega^2 d\omega = \frac{P}{I} d\theta \] 8. **Integrate Both Sides**: - Integrate from \(0\) to \(\omega\) on the left and from \(0\) to \(2n\pi\) on the right: \[ \int_0^\omega \omega^2 d\omega = \frac{P}{I} \int_0^{2n\pi} d\theta \] - This results in: \[ \frac{\omega^3}{3} = \frac{P}{I} (2n\pi) \] 9. **Solve for \(\omega\)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ \omega^3 = \frac{6n\pi P}{I} \] - Taking the cube root: \[ \omega = \left(\frac{6n\pi P}{I}\right)^{1/3} \] 10. **Establish the Relationship**: - From the above expression, we can see that \(\omega\) is proportional to \(n^{1/3}\): \[ \omega \propto n^{1/3} \] ### Conclusion: The relationship between the angular velocity \(\omega\) of the disc and the number of rotations \(n\) made by the disc is given by: \[ \omega \propto n^{1/3} \]
