Detailed Solution

Since the surface is perfectly frictionless, the disc will not roll on the surface; it will simply keep on rotating at point B where it is placed. NowLinear speed = distance from centre × angular speedGiven, r=20cm=0.2m and ω=20rads−1∴Linear speed at point A=OA×ω=rω=0.2×20=4 ms-1.
