At time 𝑡 = 0, a disk of radius 1 m starts to roll without slipping on a horizontal plane with an angular acceleration of 𝛼 = � � 𝑟𝑎𝑑 𝑠��. A small stone is stuck to the disk. At 𝑡 = 0, it is at the contact point of the disk and the plane. Later, at time 𝑡 = √𝜋 𝑠, the stone detaches itself and flies off tangentially from the disk. The maximum height (in m) reached by the stone measured from the plane is � � + � �� . The value of x is _____. [Take 𝑔 = 10 𝑚 𝑠��.]
We are given a disk of radius that starts rolling without slipping on a horizontal plane at . The angular acceleration of the disk is . A small stone is stuck to the disk at the contact point at . At , the stone detaches and flies off tangentially. We are to find the maximum height reached by the stone, measured from the plane, which is given in the form . We need to determine the value of .
Step 1: Determine the angular velocity at
The angular acceleration is constant. The angular velocity at time is:
At , the angular velocity is:
Step 2: Determine the linear velocity of the stone at detachment
The stone is located at the edge of the disk, so its linear velocity is:
Step 3: Determine the vertical component of the velocity
At the moment of detachment, the stone is at the top of the disk (since it has rolled through an angle , which corresponds to a quarter rotation. The velocity vector is tangential to the disk, so it is entirely horizontal. Thus, the vertical component of the velocity is:
Step 4: Determine the height gained after detachment
After detachment, the stone moves under the influence of gravity. The maximum height is reached when the vertical velocity becomes zero. Using the kinematic equation:
where , , and at maximum height, we get:
This means the stone does not gain any additional height after detachment.
Step 5: Determine the initial height of the stone at detachment
At , the stone is at the top of the disk. The height of the stone above the plane is equal to the diameter of the disk:
Step 6: Compare with the given expression
The maximum height reached by the stone is . The problem states that this height is given by:
Setting this equal to :
Solving for :
