Question:

A flat surface of a thin uniform disk $A$ of radius $R$ is glued to a horizontal table. Another thin uniform disk $B$ of mass $M$ and with the same radius $R$ rolls without slipping on the circumference of $A$, as shown in the figure. A flat surface of $B$ also lies on the plane of the table. The center of mass of $B$ has fixed angular speed $\omega$ about the vertical axis passing through the center of $A$. The angular momentum of $B$ is $n M \omega R^2$ with respect to the center of $A$. Which of the following is the value of $n$ ?
A flat surface of a thin uniform disk

Concepts Used:

Rotational Motion

Rotational motion can be defined as the motion of an object around a circular path, in a fixed orbit.

Rotational Motion Examples:

The wheel or rotor of a motor, which appears in rotation motion problems, is a common example of the rotational motion of a rigid body.

Other examples:

  • Moving by Bus
  • Sailing of Boat
  • Dog walking
  • A person shaking the plant.
  • A stone falls straight at the surface of the earth.
  • Movement of a coin over a carrom board 

Types of Motion involving Rotation:

  1. Rotation about a fixed axis (Pure rotation)
  2. Rotation about an axis of rotation (Combined translational and rotational motion)
  3. Rotation about an axis in the rotation (rotating axis)
