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


A wheel of radius 0.2 m rotates freely about its center when a string that is wrapped over its rim is pulled by force of 10 N as shown in figure. The established torque produces an angular acceleration of \(2 \mathrm{~rad} / \mathrm{s}^2\). Moment of inertia of the wheel is _____ \(\mathrm{kg} \mathrm{m}^2\).
(Acceleration due to gravity \(=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\))

  1. A 1
  2. B 2
  3. C 3
  4. D 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{FR}=\mathrm{I} \alpha \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{FR}}{\alpha}=\frac{10 \times 0.2}{2}=1 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\end{aligned}\)
