The radius of the ring and the disc is given as r = 10 cm = 0.10 m
Initial angular speed is given as ω0 =10 π rad s–1
The coefficient of kinetic friction is given as μk = 0.2
According to Newton’s second, the force of friction, f = ma
So we have,
μkmg= ma
Where,
a is the acceleration produced in the disc and the ring
m is the mass
Therefore, a = μkg …..(1)
Using the first equation of motion, we can write,
v = u + at
= 0 + μkgt
= μkgt …..(2)
The frictional force reduces the initial angular speed by applying torque in a perpendicularly outward direction.
Torque, T = –Iα
Where α is the Angular acceleration
μkmgr = –Iα
∴ α = -μkmgr / I …..(3)
According to the first equation of rotational motion, we can write,
ω = ω0 + αt
= ω0 + (-μkmgr / I )t …..(4)
Rolling starts when linear velocity has the velovity of rω
∴ v = r (ω0 – μkmgrt / I ) …..(5)
On using equations (2) and (5), we have:
μkgt = r (ω0 – μkmgrt / I )
= rω0 – μkmgr2t / I …..(6)
For the ring:
I = mr2
∴ μkgt = rω0 – μkmgr2t / mr2
= rω0 – μkgt
2μkgt = rω0
∴ t = rω0 / 2μkg
= ( 0.1 × 10 × 3.14) / (2 × 0.2 × 10 ) = 0.80s ….. (7)
For the disc:
I = (1/2)mr2
∴ μkgt = rω0 – μkmgr2t / (1/2)mr2
= rω0 – 2μkgt
3μkgt = rω0
∴ t = rω0 / 3μkg
= ( 0.1 x 10 × 3.14) / (3 × 0.2 × 9.8 ) = 0.53s …..(8)
The disc will start rolling before the ring as tD > tR
