A solid cylinder length is suspended symmetrically through two massless strings, as shown in the figure. The distance from the initial rest position, the cylinder should be unbinding the strings to achieve a speed of 4   ms 1 , is ____________ cm. (take g = 10   ms 2 )

JEE Main 2022 (Online) 27th July Evening Shift Physics - Rotational Motion Question 28 English

Correct answer is (120)

In case of rotational motion of a rigid body like this, the kinetic energy is not just due to the linear motion, but also due to its rotation.

For a solid cylinder, the moment of inertia I is given by 1 2 m r 2 . The kinetic energy due to rotation is given by 1 2 I ω 2 . But we also know that ω = v r , hence the rotational kinetic energy can be written as 1 2 1 2 m v 2 = 1 4 m v 2 , where 1 2 is from the moment of inertia of the solid cylinder.

Therefore, the total kinetic energy (linear + rotational) when the string snaps is 1 2 m v 2 + 1 4 m v 2 = 3 4 m v 2 .

Equating this to the potential energy m g h and solving for h gives the result :

h = v 2 2 g × 3 2 = 1.2 m = 120 cm

Alternate Method :

Applying COE, we get

m g h = 1 2 m v 2 ( 1 + K 2 r 2 )

K = radius of gyration

For a solid cylinder, K 2 r 2 = 1 2

h = v 2 2 g ( 1 + 1 2 ) = 16 2 × 10 × 3 2 = 1.2   m = 120   cm

A disc of mass 1   kg and radius R is free to rotate about a horizontal axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of disc. A body of same mass as that of disc is fixed at the highest point of the disc. Now the system is released, when the body comes to the lowest position, its angular speed will be 4 x 3 R rad s 1 where x = ____________. ( g = 10   ms 2 )

Correct answer is (5)

JEE Main 2022 (Online) 26th July Morning Shift Physics - Rotational Motion Question 31 English Explanation

Loss in P.E. = Gain in K.E.

2 m g R = 1 2 [ 1 2 m R 2 + m R 2 ] w 2

2 m g R = 1 2 × 3 2 m R 2 w 2

w 2 = 8 g 3 R

w = 8 g 3 R = 4 g 2 × 3 R

x = g 2 = 5

18. (JEE Main 2021 (Online) 22th July Evening Shift)

Consider a situation in which a ring, a solid cylinder and a solid sphere roll down on the same inclined plane without slipping. Assume that they start rolling from rest and having identical diameter.

The correct statement for this situation is

A. All of them will have same velocity.

B. The ring has greatest and the cylinder has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.

C. The sphere has the greatest and the ring has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.

D. The cylinder has the greatest and the sphere has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.

Correct Answer is Option (C)

K T K R = M R 2 I C M

ICM is maximum for ring.

v is least for ring.

Correct Answer is Option (D)

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 17th March Evening Shift Physics - Rotational Motion Question 70 English Explanation

a = g sin θ 1 + c

a = 9.8 sin 30 1 + 2 5

a = 3.5 m/sec2

Time of accent

V = u + at

0 = 1 3.5 t

t = 1 3.5 sec.

Time of decent

t = 1 3.5 sec.

Total time T = 2 3.5 = 0.57 sec.
