Question

Two discs A & B having small projections, welded on their circumference , are free to rotate about their fixed axes, which are parallel to each other as shown in figure. The disc B starts rotating with angular velocity ω . It’s projection hits the projection of other disc at rest after time T. The coefficient of restitution is 12 . The two discs are of same radius but their moments of inertia are 4I and I respectively.

Difficult
Question

The angular velocity of the disc A after collision is

Solution

Let B rotates in clockwise direction initially

Just after collision, let ω1,ω2 are their angular speeds and J is the impulse of collision.

 For discs(1&2),JR=4Iω1=Iω+ω24ω1=ω+ω2 .(1)e=1212=Rω1Rω2Rωω=2ω12ω2    .......(2)

From (1) and (2),  ω1=310ω,ω2=ω5 i.e., disc (2) reverses its direction of rotation
Let left and right discs make N1, N2 number of rotations between first and 2nd collision between projections. N1T1=N2T2

N12π(3ω/10)=N22πω/5N1=32N2

 Least integer values of N1 and N2 are N1=3,N2=2 Time of second collision t0=N1T1=32π3ω(10)=20T[T=π/ω]

Question

The second collision between projections will take place after a minimum time of

Solution

Let B rotates in clockwise direction initially

Just after collision, let ω1,ω2 are their angular speeds and J is the impulse of collision.

 For discs(1&2),JR=4Iω1=Iω+ω24ω1=ω+ω2 .(1)e=1212=Rω1Rω2Rωω=2ω12ω2    .......(2)
