TS EAMCET · Physics · Rotational Motion

A wheel of radius \(0.4 \mathrm{~m}\) can rotate freely about its axis as shown in the figure. A string is wrapped over its rim and a mass of \(4 \mathrm{~kg}\) is hung. An angular acceleration of 8 rad- \(\mathrm{s}^{-2}\) is produced in it due to the torque. Then, moment of inertia of the wheel is \(\left(g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right)\)

  1. A \(2 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
  2. B \(1 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
  3. C \(4 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
  4. D \(8 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(r=0.4 \mathrm{~m}\), \(\begin{aligned} \alpha & =8 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}, \\ m & =4 \mathrm{~kg}, \quad I=? \\ \text { Torque, } \quad \tau & =I \alpha \\ m g r & =I \cdot \alpha\end{aligned}\)…
