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

  1. A \(2 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(3 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(4 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(5 \mathrm{~N}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{R}=0.4 \mathrm{~m}, \mathrm{M}=1 \mathrm{~kg}, \alpha=10 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2\)
\(\mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{2}=\frac{1 \times(0.4)^2}{2}=0.08 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^2\)
Torque, \(\tau=\mathrm{I} \alpha=0.08 \times 10=0.8 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{m}\)
Also, \(\tau=\) FR
or \(F=\frac{\tau}{R}=\frac{0.8}{0.4}=2 \mathrm{~N}\)
