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

To mop-clean a floor, a cleaning machine presses a circular mop of radius \(R\) vertically down with a total force \(F\) and rotates it with a constant angular speed about its axis. If the force \(F\) is distributed uniformly over the mop and the floor is \(\mu \), the torque, applied by the machine on the mop is

  1. A \(\mu FR/3\)
  2. B \(\mu FR/6\)
  3. C \(\mu FR/2\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{3}\,\mu FR\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{2}{3}\,\mu FR\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{l} d\tau = \left( {\mu dN} \right)x\\ \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \mu \left( {\frac{F}{{\pi {R^2}}} \times 2\pi \times dx} \right)x\\ \,\,\,\,\tau = \int\limits_0^R {d\tau } \end{array}\)
