A uniform solid disc of mass 4 kg4 \text{ kg} and radius 0.5 m0.5 \text{ m} is pivoted at its centre and is initially at rest. A constant tangential force of 10 N10 \text{ N} is applied to its rim. What will be the angular velocity of the disc after 3 s3 \text{ s}?

Options

  1. A30 rad/s30 \text{ rad/s}
  2. B15 rad/s15 \text{ rad/s}
  3. C10 rad/s10 \text{ rad/s}
  4. D120 rad/s120 \text{ rad/s}

Correct answer

A. 30 rad/s30 \text{ rad/s}

Step-by-step solution

The moment of inertia of a uniform solid disc about its central axis is:
I=12MR2=12×4×(0.5)2=2×0.25=0.5 kg m2I = \dfrac{1}{2}MR^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 4 \times (0.5)^2 = 2 \times 0.25 = 0.5 \text{ kg m}^2

The torque produced by the tangential force applied at the rim is:
τ=F×R=10×0.5=5 N m\tau = F \times R = 10 \times 0.5 = 5 \text{ N m}

Using Newton's second law for rotation, the angular acceleration α\alpha is:
α=τI=50.5=10 rad/s2\alpha = \dfrac{\tau}{I} = \dfrac{5}{0.5} = 10 \text{ rad/s}^2

Since the disc starts from rest (ωi=0\omega_i = 0), the final angular velocity after t=3 st = 3 \text{ s} is:
ωf=ωi+αt=0+(10×3)=30 rad/s\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t = 0 + (10 \times 3) = 30 \text{ rad/s}

Answer: 30 rad/s30 \text{ rad/s}
