JEE Advanced · Physics · 8. Rotational Motion
A disc of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is free to rotate about its vertical axis as shown in the figure. A battery operated motor of negligible mass is fixed to this disc at a point on its circumference. Another disc of the same mass \(M\) and radius \(R / 2\) is fixed to the motor's thin shaft. Initially, both the discs are at rest. The motor is switched on so that the smaller disc rotates at a uniform angular speed \(\omega\). If the angular speed at which the large disc rotates is \(\omega / n\), then the value of \(n\) is ______ .

- A 6
- B 12
- C 24
- D 32
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 12
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

On applying conservation of angular momentum about axis of larger disc.
\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{2} \cdot \mathrm{M}\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}\right)^2 \cdot \omega-\mathrm{M}\left(\omega^{\prime} \mathrm{R}\right) \cdot \mathrm{R}-\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{2} \cdot \omega^{\prime}=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\omega}{8}=\frac{3 \omega^{\prime}}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow \omega^{\prime}=\frac{\omega}{12} \quad \text { Hence, } \mathrm{n}=12\end{aligned}\)

A frame of reference that is accelerated with respect to an inertial frame of reference is called a non-inertial frame of reference. A coordinate system fixed on a circular disc rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular velocity \(\omega\) is an example of a non-inertial frame of reference.
The relationship between the force \(\vec{F}_{\text {rot }}\) experienced by a particle of mass \(m\) moving on the rotating disc and the force \(\vec{F}_{\text {in }}\) experienced by the particle in an inertial frame of reference is
\(\vec{F}_{\mathrm{rot}}=\vec{F}_{\mathrm{in}}+2 m\left(\vec{v}_{\mathrm{rot}} \times \vec{\omega}\right)+m(\vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}) \times \vec{\omega}\),
where \(\vec{v}_{\text {rot }}\) is the velocity of the particle in the rotating frame of reference and \(\vec{r}\) is the position vector of the particle with respect to the centre of the disc.
Now consider a smooth slot along a diameter of a disc of radius \(R\) rotating counter-clockwise with a constant angular speed \(\omega\) about its vertical axis through its center. We assign a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the disc, the \(x\)-axis along the slot, the \(y\)-axis perpendicular to the slot and the \(z\)-axis along the rotation axis \((\vec{\omega}=\omega \hat{k}) .\) A small block of mass \(m\) is gently placed in the slot at \(\vec{r}=(R / 2) \hat{i}\) at \(t=0\) and is constrained to move only along the slot.
