A heavy and a light cylindrical rollers ...

A heavy and a light cylindrical rollers of diameter D and d respectively rest on a horizontal plane as shown. The larger roller has a string wound around it to which a horizontal force 'P' can be applied as shown. Assuming 'mu' (coefficient of friction) is same at all surfaces of contact, find the critical value of 'mu' such that larger roller can be just pulled over smaller one.

A

`mu=sqrt((D)/(d))`

B

`mu=2sqrt((D)/(d))`

C

`mu=sqrt((d)/(D))`

D

`mu=2sqrt((D)/(d))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`sin alpha=(D-d)/(D+d)`
`cos alpha=(2sqrt(Dd))/(D+d)`

If smaller cylinder neither rolls nor slides then larger cylinder can be pulled over it. Then sum of moments about `C_(2)` should be zero
`muN_(1)d=muN_(2)d`
`N_(1)=N_(2)`
for no sliding
`muN_(2)+muN_(1) cos(90-alpha)=N_(1) cos alpha`
`implies mu (1+sin alpha)=cos alpha`

Comprehension # 1 If net force on a system in a particular direction is zero (say in horizontal direction) we can apply: Sigmam_(R )x_(R )= Sigmam_(L)x_(L), Sigmam_(R )v_(R )= Sigmam_(L)v_(L) and Sigmam_(R )a_(R ) = Sigmam_(L)a_(L) Here R stands for the masses which are moving towards right and L for the masses towards left, x is displacement, v is veloctiy and a the acceleration (all with respect to ground).

Two parallel beams of light P and Q (separation d) containing radiations of wavelengts 4000Å and 5000 Å (which are mutually coherent in each wavelength separately) are incident normally on a prism as shown in figure the refractive index of the prism as a function of wavelength is given by the relation mu(lamda)=1.20+(b)/(lamda^(2)) where lamda is in Å and b is a positive constant. The value of b is such that the condition for total reflection at the face AC is just satisfied for one wavelength and is not satisfied for the other. A convergent lens is used to bring these transmitted beams into focus. If the intensities of the upper and the lower beams immediately after transmission from the face AC, are 4I and I respectively, find the resultant intensity at the focus.
