JEE Advanced · Physics · 8. Rotational Motion

Paragraph:
\(\mathbf{P}_{17 \text { - } 19}\) : Paragraph for Questions Nos. 17 to 19 Two discs \(A\) and \(B\) are mounted coaxially on a vertical axle. The discs have moments of inertia I and 2I, respectively about the common axis. Disc \(A\) is imparted an initial angular velocity \(2 \omega\) using the entire potential energy of a spring compressed by a distance \(x_1\). Disc \(B\) is imparted an angular velocity \(\omega\) by a spring having the same spring constant and compressed by a distance \(x_2\). Both the discs rotate in the clockwise direction.Question:
The ratio \(\frac{x_1}{x_2}\) is

  1. A 2
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{1}{2} I(2 \omega)^2 =\frac{1}{2} k x_1^2\)
\(\frac{1}{2}(2 I)(\omega)^2 =\frac{1}{2} k x_2^2\)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have
\(\frac{x_1}{x_2}=\sqrt{2}\)
\(\therefore\) Option (c) is correct.
