Engineering Mechanics

  1. A force of 100 N is applied to the centre of a circular disc, of mass 10 kg and radius 1 m, resting on a floor as shown in the figure. If the disc rolls without slipping on the floor, the linear acceleration (in m/s²) of the centre of the disc is _________ (correct to two decimal places).
    1. 8.02
    2. 6.67
    3. 7.67
    4. 7.4
Correct Option: B


m = 10 kg, r = 1 m
100 – f = maCM = mr∝ ...(A) '
[Tarque]CM = ICM’∝

f × r =
mr²
× ∝
2

2f = mr∝
2f = macm
f =
m
× acm ...........(ii)
2

By (A) & (B) we get
100 -
macm
= macm
2

we get on solving
aCM = 6.67
m
