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 R=1m that starts rolling without slipping on a horizontal plane at t=0. The angular acceleration of the disk is α=1rad/s2. A small stone is stuck to the disk at the contact point at t=0. At t=πs, 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 x2+110. We need to determine the value of x.


Step 1: Determine the angular velocity at t=π

The angular acceleration α=1rad/s2 is constant. The angular velocity ω at time t is:

ω=αt=trad/s.

At t=π, the angular velocity is:

ω=πrad/s.


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 v is:

v=Rω=(1)π=πm/s.


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 θ=12αt2=121(π)2=π2rad, 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:

vy=0m/s.


Step 4: Determine the height gained after detachment

After detachment, the stone moves under the influence of gravity. The maximum height h is reached when the vertical velocity becomes zero. Using the kinematic equation:

vy2=uy2+2aΔy,

where uy=0m/sa=g=10m/s2, and vy=0m/s at maximum height, we get:

0=0+2(10)Δy    Δy=0.

This means the stone does not gain any additional height after detachment.


Step 5: Determine the initial height of the stone at detachment

At t=π, 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:

h=2R=21=2m.


Step 6: Compare with the given expression

The maximum height reached by the stone is 2m. The problem states that this height is given by:

x2+110.

Setting this equal to 2:

x2+110=2.

Solving for x:

x2=2110=1910,x=19102=195.


Final Answer:

x=195.
