Q.

A circular platform is mounted on a frictionless vertical axle. Its radius R = 2m and its moment of inertia about the axle is 200 kg m2. It is initially at rest. A 50 kg man stands on the edge of the platform and begins to walk along the edge at the speed of 1 ms1 relative to the ground. Time taken by the man to complete one revolution w.r.t to the disc is :-

Detailed Solution

MI of platform =200 kg-m2,

MI of man =mR2=200 kg-m2

For system (platform + man) by using COAM 

Iω0=mvR  ω0=50×1×2200=12rads 

Angular velocity of man w.r.t. platform (rotation of platform is in opposite direction to the moment of the man)=vR+ω0=12+12=1 rads 

Time taken by the man to complete one revolution 

                   =2π rad1 rads=2π s
