JEE Advance - Physics (2015 - Paper 1 Offline - No. 11)

Two identical uniform discs roll without slipping on two different surfaces AB and CD (see figure) starting at A and C with linear speeds v1 and v2, respectively, and always remain in contact with the surfaces. If they reach B and D with the same linear speed and v1 = 3 m/s, then v2 in m/s is (g = 10 m/s2)

Answer
7

Explanation

Suppose mass and radius of each disc are m and R respectively. Also potential energy at points B and D is zero i.e., they are on reference line.

Given final kinetic energy for each disc is same, say it is K.

Applying energy conservation principle,

For surface AB,

$${1 \over 2}{I_2}\omega _1^2 + mg \times 30 = K$$ ..... (i)

For surface CD,

$${1 \over 2}{I_2}\omega _2^2 + mg \times 27 = K$$ ..... (ii)

From eqns. (i) and (ii), we get

$${1 \over 2}{I_2}\omega _1^2 + mg \times 30 = {1 \over 2}{I_2}\omega _2^2 + mg \times 27$$ ...... (iii)

Here, $${\omega _1} = {{{v_1}} \over R}$$, $${\omega _2} = {{{v_2}} \over R}$$, v1 = 3 m s$$-$$1, v2 = ?

I1 = I2 = Moment of inertia of disc about the point of contact $$ = {1 \over 2}m{R^2} + m{R^2} = {3 \over 2}m{R^2}$$

From eqn. (iii), $${1 \over 2}\left( {{3 \over 2}m{R^2}} \right) \times {\left( {{3 \over R}} \right)^2} + m \times 10 \times 30$$

$$ = {1 \over 2}\left( {{3 \over 2}m{R^2}} \right) \times {\left( {{{{v_2}} \over R}} \right)^2} + m \times 10 \times 27$$

$${{27} \over 4} + 300 = {3 \over 4}v_2^2 + 270$$

$${3 \over 4}v_2^2 = {{27} \over 4} + 30 \Rightarrow 3v_2^2 = 147$$

$$v_2^2 = 49$$ $$\therefore$$ v2 = 7 m s$$-$$1
