A cord is wound around the circumference of wheel of radius r. The axis of the wheel is horizontal and MI is I. A weight mg is attached to the end of the cord and falls from rest. After falling through a distance h, the angular velocity of the wheel will be

Answer»

`sqrt((2gh)/(I+mr^(2)))`
`((2mgh)/(I+mr^(2)))^(1//2)`
`((2mgh)/(I+2mr^(2)))^(1//2)`
`sqrt(2gh)`

SOLUTION :Velocity, `v = r OMEGA`
Decrease in GRAVITATIONAL potential energy = INCREASE in kinetic energy

`:. mgh=(1)/(2)Iomega^(2)+(1)/(2)mv^(2)=(1)/(2)Iomega^(2)+(1)/(2)m(r omega)^(2)`
`:.` Angular velocity, `omega=sqrt((2mgh)/(I+mr^(2)))`.
