A disc of radius \(0.4 \mathrm{~m}\) and mass \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\) rotates about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane. The angular acceleration of the disc is \(10 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2\). The tangential force applied to the rim of the disc is

  1. A \(4 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(1 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(8 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{R}=0.4 \mathrm{~m}, \mathrm{M}=1 \mathrm{~kg}, \alpha=10 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2\)
Moment of inertia, \(\mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{2}=\frac{1 \times(0.4)^2}{2}=0.08 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2\)
Torque, \(\tau=\mathrm{RF}=\mathrm{I} \alpha\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{F}=\frac{\mathrm{I} \alpha}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{0.08 \times 10}{0.4}=2 \mathrm{~N}\)
