Paragraph :

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.

  3. C 12mω2Reωt-e-ωt j^+mgk^
  4. D 12mω2R e2ωt-e-2ωtj^+mgk^
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 12mω2Reωt-e-ωt j^+mgk^

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


N1=mgk^
N^2=2mVrot×ω j^
=2mωR4eωt-e-ωtωj^ 
=12mω2Reωt-e-ωtj^
Total reaction on block =N1+N2
=12mω2Reωt-e-ωt j^+mgk^
