A wheel of rdius r and moment of inertia I about its axis is fixed at top of an inclined plane of inclination `theta` as shownin figure. A string is wrapped round the wheel and its free end supports a block of mass M which can slide on the plane. INitialy, tehwheel is rotating at a speed `omega` in direction such that the block slides pu the plane. How far wil the block move before stopping? |

Answer» Suppose the deceleration of the block is a. The linear decelerationof the rim of the wheel is also a. The angular decelratinof the wheel is `alpha=a/r`. I the tension in the string is T, the equations of motion are as follows: `Mgsintheta-T=Ma` and `Tr=Ialpha=Ia/r` ElimiN/Ating T from these equations `Mgsintheta-Ia/r^2=Ma` giving `a=(Mgr^2sintheta)/(I+Mr^2)` THe initial velocity of the block up the incline is v=omegar`. Thus the distance moved by the block before stopping is `x=v^2/(2a) =(omega^2r^2(I+Mr^2))/(2Mgr^2sintheta)=((I+Mr^2)omega^2)/(2Mgsintheta)` |
