Two discs A and B are mounted coaxially on a vertical axle. The discs have moments of inertia I and 2I respectively about the common axis. Disc A is imparted an initial angular velocity 2omega using the entire potential energy of a spring compressed by a distance x_(1). Disc B is imparted an angular velocity omega by a spring having the same spring constant and compressed by a distance x_(2). Both teh discs rotate in the clockwise direction. The ratio (x_(1))/(x_(2)) is :

Answer»

2
`(1)/(2)`
`sqrt(2)`
`(1)/(sqrt(2))`

Solution :Here K.E. of rotation = P.E. of the spring
`therefore (1)/(2)I(2omega)^(2)=(1)/(2)kx_(1)^(2)`
and `(1)/(2)xx2Iomega^(2)=(1)/(2)kx_(2)^(2)`
DIVIDING `(x_(1)^(2))/(x_(2)^(2))=2and(x_(1))/(x_(2))=sqrt(2)`
