Running out...


Try this:

The rigid body is so selected from a collection of spheres, rings, discs etc. such that when released from rest in the position shown, it leaves contact with the horizontal plane at exactly 60*...as shown.

This would assist in a smooth 'transition' from the horizontal to the inclined surface;

So, whats the nature of the rigid body???

  1. the moment of inertia about the instantaneous axis of rotation is 2MR^2.....?

  2. yeahh...getting same as sambhav

    its a ring

    ...it wasnt very difficult..coz we have a similar question in module

  3. ring is true...

    Derive the angle A rotated by a general rigid body of parameters M,K,R.

    It is given by CosA=2/(3+k^2/R^2)...

    For a particle: k^2/R^2=0 or CosA=2/3.
    Rings a bell???

  4. here, the body rolls about a point (the corner made by the two surfaces)

    actually, you can keep the body on top a fixed round surface of radius R (convex up), and let it roll down. it will leave contact at the same angle..ie CosA=2/(3+k^2/R^2)

  5. please only explain the reason bhaiya that for a particle CosA=2/3.Mathematically i agree.but practically i dont.

  6. you agree for particle sliding on a fixed sphere??

    This is just a limiting case when the radius of the fixed sphere tends to zero.
