Q.

The figure shows a system consisting of (i) a ring of outer radius 3R rolling clockwise without slipping on a horizontal surface with angular speed ω and (ii) an inner disc of radius 2R rotating anti-clockwise with angular speed ω/2. The ring and disc are separated by frictionless ball bearings. The point P on the inner disc is at a distance R from the origin, where OP makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Then with respect to the horizontal surface,                  [2012]

1 the point O has linear velocity 3Rωi^  
2 the point P has linear velocity 114Rωi^+34Rωk^  
3 the point P has linear velocity 134Rωi^-34Rωk^  
4 the point P has linear velocity (3-34)Rωi^+14Rωk^  

Ans.

(1, 2)

Velocity at centre 'O'        vO=3Rωi^

VP=3Rωi^-Rω2sin30°i^+Rω2cos30°k^

 VP=[3Rωi^-Rω4i^]+3Rω4k^

or, VP=114Rωi^+34Rωk^
