A solid disc and a ring, both of radius 10 cm are placed on a horizontaltable simultaneously, with initial angular speed equal to Whichof the two will start to roll earlier? The co-efficient of kinetic friction is
Solution:
Here, radius of both the ring and solid disc Moment of inertia of the solid disc Initial angular velocity Initial velocity of centre of mass is zero. Frictional force causes the C.M. to accelerate Now, Torque due to friction causes retardation in the initial angular speed Rolling begins, when From (ii) and (iv), For a ring ; For a disc, ∴ From equation (v) Putting in equation (vi) and (vii)It is clear that , so disc will start rolling first.
