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

The point P has a linear velocity
The point P has a linear velocity


Important Questions on Uniform Circular Motion


A motorcyclist moving with a velocity of on a flat road takes a turn on the road at a point where the radius of curvature of the road is metres. The acceleration due to gravity is in order to avoid skidding, he must not bend with respect to the vertical plane by an angle greater than.

A bob of mass attached to an inextensible string of length is suspended from a vertical support. The bob rotates in a horizontal circle with an angular speed about the vertical. About the point of suspension:

Two identical disc of the same radius are rotating
Two identical discs of same radius are rotating about their axes in opposite directions with the same constant angular speed . The discs are in the same horizontal plane. At time , the points P and Q are facing each other as shown in the figure. The relative speed between the two points P and Q is In one time period (T) of rotation of the discs, as a function of time is best represented by

The limiting value of coefficient of friction between the road and the wheels of a car is . The maximum safe speed with which the car can take a bend of radius on a flat road is nearly
Take .

A bob of mass M is suspended by a massless string of length L. The horizontal velocity v at position A is just sufficient to make it reach the point B. The angle at which the speed of the bob is half of that at A, satisfies:

A stone tied to string of length is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the string at the centre. At a certain instant of time the stone is at its lowest position and has a speed The magnitude of the change in velocity as it reaches a position, where the string is horizontal is
