Q.

A disc of mass m and radius R lies flat on a smooth horizontal table. A mass less string runs halfway around it as shown in figure. One end of the string is attached to a small body of mass m and the other end is being pulled with a force F. The circumference of the disc is sufficiently rough so that the string does not slip over it. Find acceleration of the small body.

Detailed Solution

For no slipping condition of thread acceleration of point A on the circumference of the disc = acceleration of the small body
$\Rightarrow Rα = a_{0} = a$

Other equations are
T = ma ………(ii)

F +T = ma₀ ……..(iii)

And $(F - T) R = \frac{1}{2} {mR}^{2} . α \Rightarrow F - T = \frac{1}{2} mRo$ . …..(iv)
Using (i) in (iv) $F - T = \frac{1}{2} m (a + a_{0})$
Using (ii) in this $F = \frac{3}{2} ma + \frac{1}{2} ma$

From (ii) and (iii) F = ma₀ -ma ……(vi)
Solving (v) and (vi) $a = \frac{F}{4 m}$
