JEE Advance - Physics (2012 - Paper 2 Offline - No. 10)

Consider a disc rotating in the horizontal plane with a constant angular speed $$\omega $$ about its centre O. The disc has a shaded region on one side of the diameter and an unshaded region on the other side as shown in the figure. When the disc is in the orientation as shown, two pebbles P and Q are simultaneously projected at an angle towards R. The velocity of projection is in the y - z plane and is same for both pebbles with respect to the disc. Assume that (i) they land back on the disc before the disc has completed $${1 \over 8}$$ rotation, (ii) their range is less than half the disc radius, and (iii) $$\omega $$ remains constant throughout. Then

P lands in the shaded region and Q in the unshaded region.
P lands in the unshaded region and Q in the shaded region.
Both P and Q land in the unshaded region.
Both P and Q land in the shaded region.

Explanation

$\left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^{\mathrm{th}}$ rotation of the disc with a constant $\Omega$ implies that the disc has turned through

$$ \frac{1}{8} \times 360^{\circ}=45^{\circ} $$

The orientation of the disc now is

For the particle thrown from $Q$ towards $R$, will have only the velocity given to it with respect to disc i.e., it possess a velocity only in the Y-Z plane and covers a range along OR. Hence, it can be seen to land on the disc in the unshaded region. Actually point $O$ of the disc has zero velocity and $Q$ being very close to $O$, will have only the velocity given to it w.r.t disc.

For the particle thrown from P , will have an additional velocity $=R \Omega$ along +X direction i.e., it will cover a range $=\frac{R}{2}$ along PO as well as a distance $=(R \omega) \frac{T}{8}=\frac{R}{8} \times 2 \pi=\frac{\pi R}{4}$ along $+X$ direction

The resultant displacement of particle P is thus obtained as

$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad d & =\frac{R}{2} \sqrt{1+\frac{\pi^2}{4}} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \pi^2 & =10 \\ d & =\frac{\mathrm{R}}{4} \sqrt{14} \\ \tan \theta & =\frac{\pi \mathrm{R} / 4}{\mathrm{R} / 2}=\frac{\pi}{2}\end{aligned}$

In the diagram shown,

$$ \begin{aligned} P S & =R \cos \theta \\ & =R \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{14}} \\ & =\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{14}} \end{aligned} $$

Since, $d>$ PS $\quad$ PS $=\frac{R}{7} \sqrt{14}$

Hence, the particle from P also lands in the unshaded region.
