The Gong!!


The solution is fairly simple..

Assume the impulse delivered at the hinge to be zero. Due to the impulse I, the gong acquires an angular velocity w..

Newton's law abt. the hinge gives:
I(x)=(MK^2+MR^2)w.........(1).


Note that
MK^2 is the moment of inertia abt. the COM.
I(x) is the angular impulse abt. the hinge.

The same abt. the center of the gong gives:
I(x-R)=(MK^2)w..........(2)

Solve these to get x = [1+(K^2/R^2)] times the radius..

Some of you may appreciate the result..i'll post some cool similar questions someday.

  5. WHERE IS CONDITION OF ZERO IMPULSE AT THE HINGE APPLICATION. PLEASE EXPLAIN SIR?!!!!!!!!!

  6. rohan

    I(x-R)=(MK^2)w

    agar hinge pe impulse F hoti to ye eqn hoti

    I(x-R)-FR=(MK^2)w

  7. why the minus sign comes as the impulse direction on hinge and on the gong is of sane direction. ANKUSH SACHDEVA or any other please tell about the above post.

  8. also ankush please see my post a brick lying on an inclined plane problem and please reply it.

  9. u can take that + also,if ur answer comes negative it means u took the opp direction.

    i hope i m rite
