A block with mass m = 2 kg hangs from a massless cord that is wrapped around the rim of the disc. During the fall of the block, the cord does not slip and there is no friction at the axle. The tension in the cord is _____ N.
(Take g = 10 ms–2)
Correct Answer: 10
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is 10
20 – T = 2a
and 0.1 × T = 0.02 α
\(=\frac{0.02a}{0.1}\)
T = 2a
⇒ a = 5 m/sec2
So T = 10 N
\(\therefore\) tension in the cord is 10 N.

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:
- Rotation about a fixed axis (Pure rotation)
- Rotation about an axis of rotation (Combined translational and rotational motion)
- Rotation about an axis in the rotation (rotating axis)
