two thin circular discs of mass 2kg and radius 10cm each are joined by a rigid massless rod of length 20cm. the axis of the rod is along the perpendicular to the plane of the disc through their centres.

this object is kept in a truck.

its friction in the floor is large enuf so that the object can roll on the truck without slipping. take x-axis as the direction of motion of the truck and z-axis as the vertically upwards direction.

if the truck has an acceleration of 9m/s^2...

calculate:

1) the force of friction on each disc..

2) the magnitude and the direction of the frictional torque acting on each disc about the cenetr of mass O of the object.
express the torque in the vector form in terms of unit vectors i,j,k...

Let f b the friction...

a the acc. of the trucktorque abt. the pt.of cnct

is Ï„=MaR

ang. acc.=α=τ/I

I =moment of inrtia abt. pt. of conct
i,e, I=1.5MR2
linear acc. is given by...=a2=αR=(2/4)α*(2/3)*9
=6 m/s2

Nw, motion of disc is
Ma-f=Ma2
(Ma is psuedo)

or f=M(a-a2)

f=2(9-6)
=6 N

am i right,....

I=1.5MR^2

why ? [2]

am being silly i think.....

par yeh batado...........

waise ur ans are correct....i think..
