JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

A cord is wound round the circumference of wheel of radius \(r\). The axis of the wheel is horizontal and moment of inertia about it is \(I\). A weight \(mg\) is attached to the end of the cord and falls from rest. After falling through a distance \(h\), the angular velocity of the wheel will be

  1. A \(\sqrt {\frac{{2gh}}{{I + mr}}} \)
  2. B \(\sqrt {\frac{{2mgh}}{{I + m{r^2}}}} \)
  3. C \(\sqrt {\frac{{2mgh}}{{I + 2m{r^2}}}} \)
  4. D \(\sqrt {2gh} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt {\frac{{2mgh}}{{I + m{r^2}}}} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to law of conservation of energy \(mgh = \frac{1}{2}(I + m{r^2}){\omega ^2}\) \( \Rightarrow \) \(\omega = \sqrt {\frac{{2mgh}}{{I + m{r^2}}}} \).
