A block of mass m is attached to one end of a light string which is wrapped on a disc of mass 2 m and radius R . The total length of the slack portion of the string is l . The block is released from rest. The angular velocity of the disc just after the string becomes taut is
Options
- Agl R 2
- Bgl 2R 2
- C2gl 3R 2
- D3gl 2R 2
Correct answer
B. gl 2R 2
Step-by-step solution
Using the principle of conservation of angular momentum, m 2 gl × R = 2 m   R 2 2 + mR 2 × ω ⇒ ω = gl 2 R 2
