    A disc revolves with a speed of \[33\frac{1}{3}\] rev/min and has a radius of 15 cm. Two coins \[A\] and \[B\] are placed at 4 cm and 14 cm away from the Centre of the record respectively. If the coefficient of friction between the coins and the record is 0.15, which of the coins will revolve with the record?

    A) Coin A will revolve but B will not revolve

    B) B will revolve but A will not revolve

    C) None of the coins will revolve

    D) Both coins will revolve 

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a]
    Frequency of revolution \[n=33\frac{1}{3}=\frac{100}{3}\operatorname{rev}/min=\frac{100}{3\times 60\operatorname{rev}/min}\]\[=\frac{5}{9}rev/s\]
    \[\therefore \] Angular velocity \[(\omega )=2\pi n\]\[=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times \frac{5}{9}=\frac{220}{63}\operatorname{rad}/s\]
    Radius of the disc \[(r)=15\text{ }\operatorname{cm}.\]
    Distance of first coin A from the centre \[({{x}_{1}})=4cm\]
    Distance of the second coin B from the Centre \[({{x}_{1}})=\text{ }14cm\]
    Coefficient of friction between the coins and the record\[~=0.15\]
    If force of friction between the coin and the record is sufficient to provide the centripetal force, then coil will revolve with the record.
    \[\therefore \]To prevent slipping (or to revolve the Coin along with record) the force of friction \[f\ge \]Centripetal force\[({{f}_{c}})\]
    \[\Rightarrow \mu \operatorname{mg}\ge \operatorname{mr}{{\omega }^{2}}\operatorname{or}\,\mu g\ge r{{\omega }^{2}}\]
    For first coin A \[r{{\omega }^{2}}=\frac{4}{100}\times {{\left( \frac{220}{63} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{4\times 220\times 220}{100\times 63\times 63}\]\[=0.488\operatorname{m}/{{s}^{2}}\] and \[\mu g=0.15\times 9.8=1.47m/{{s}^{2}}\]
    Here, \[\mu g\ge r{{\omega }^{2}}\] therefore this coin will revolve with the record.
    For second coin B \[r{{\omega }^{2}}==\frac{14}{100}\times {{\left( \frac{220}{63} \right)}^{2}}\]\[=\frac{14\times 220\times 220}{100\times 63\times 63}=1.707\operatorname{m}/s\] and \[\mu g=1.47m/s\]
    Here, \[\mu g<r{{\omega }^{2}},\] therefore centripetal force will not be obtained from the force of friction, hence this coin will not revolve with the record.
