Correct Answer: 2

Solution and Explanation

\[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2gh}{1 + \frac{k^2}{R^2}}} \] Where \( h = 60 \sin 30^\circ = 30 \) cm \[ k^2 = \frac{R^2}{2} \] \[ v = 2 \text{ ms}^{-1} \]

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)
