Theory of Machines Miscellaneous

  1. A disc of mass m is attached to a spring of stiffness k as shown in the fig. The disc rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. The natural frequency of vibration of the system is

    1. 1
      k / m

    2. 1
      2k / m

    3. 1
      2k / 3m

    4. 1
      3k / 2m

Correct Option: C


Taking moments about instantaneous centre ‘A’, Iaθ̇̇ + (kx) r = 0
⇒ (Io + mr2) θ̇̇ + kx (θr)r = 0

1
mr2 + mr2θ + k(θr2) = 0
2

⇒ θ̇̇ +
kr2
θ = 0
3mr2
2

⇒ θ̇̇ +
2k
θ = 0
3m

∴ ωn =
1
2k / 3m
