Q.

An annular disk of mass M, inner radius a and outer radius b is placed on a horizontal surface with coefficient of friction μ, as shown in the figure. At some time, an impulse J0x^ is applied at a height h above the center of the disk. If h=hm, then the disk rolls without slipping along the x-axis. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct       [2023]

1 For μ0 and a0, hm=b2.  
2 For μ0 and a0hm=b.  
3 For h=hm the initial angular velocity does not depend on the inner radius a.  
4 For μ=0 and h=0, the wheel always slides without rolling.  

Ans.

(1, 2, 3, 4)

Impulse J=ΔP so

J0=mv                                      ...(i)

J0hm=Icω  hm=IcωJ0=Icωmv  hm=IcmR       [V=Rω]

(1) If a=0, Ic=12mb2 and R=b   hm=b2

(2) If a=b, Ic=mb2 and R=b   hm=b

(3) v=J0m  100=VR=J0mR

(4) As force is acting on centre of mass so no rotation for μ=0 and h=0, the wheel always slides without rolling.
