A ring of radius r=25cm made of lead wire is rotated about a stationary vertical axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of the ring. What is the number of rps at which the ring ruptures?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Let us consider an element of the ring (figure). From NEWTON's law `F_n=mw_n` for this element, we GET,
`Tdtheta=((m)/(2pi)dtheta)omega^2r`
So, `T=(m)/(2pi)omega^2r`
Condition for the problem is:
`(T)/(pir^2)lesigma_m` or, `(momega^2r)/(2pi^2r^2)lesigma_m`
or, `omega_(max)^2=(2pi^2sigma_mr)/(pir^2(2pirrho))=(sigma_m)/(rhor^2)`
Thus SOUGHT number of RPS
`n=(omega_(max))/(2pi)=(1)/(2pir)sqrt((sigma_m)/(rho))`
Using the table of appendices `n=23rps`
