Q.

Figure shows a torch producing a straight light beam falling on a plane mirror at an angle 600. The reflected beam makes a spot P on the screen along y-axis. If at t=0, the mirror starts rotating about the hinge A with an angular velocity ω=10 per second clockwise, find the speed of the spot on screen after time t = 15seconds

Let the mirror rotates through an angle α time  't'α=ωt The angle turned by reflected ray = 2α (in clock wise direction). Now the angle
made by reflected ray with vertical will be 60-2α 

Question Image

 In ΔAPB,P=602α and cot(602α)=y3 y=3cot(602α) dydt=3cosec2(602α)2dt
Speed of spot ‘P’ is 
V=6ωcosec2(602α)(1) ω    =10 per second =π180rad/s α=ωt=π180×15=π12rad/s V=6×π180×cosec2π32×π12 =π30×cosec2π6=4π30=2π15m/s
