On a rough floor with coefficient of kinetic frction μ k , a horizontally placed uniform circular disk of radius R is rotating about a fixed point on it's circumference with angular velocity ω 0 .
The time taken by the disk to stop is t = b a μ k g π R ω 0 , where a , and b are positive coprime integers. Find the value of a + b .

Nice problem amazing solution
Try my question Bouncing balls you will find it challenging
the disk is placed horizontally!!..please add this thing to question
Question is not defined properly.. Mention how is the disc placed on the floor
Generally when I have to solve an integral involving inverse trigonometric functions, I turn it in for of angles and their corresponding trigonometric functions. I find it easier to deal with. Nice question by the way.
Really nice and amazing solution. . it must be admired. . ..post more similar problems....
Nice problem.........really enjoyed solving it
Cool problem and nice solution. Enjoyed a lot solving it
Really nice question . I lolled in the integration though:(
Umm Jatin, why is cos theta =x/2R and not x/R (as I see it from the figure)? Nice problem though

Angle OPQ appears to be 90 so you might be tempted to use simple trigonometry.
However, OPQ is an isoceles triangle and there is no right angle which means that we have to use cosine rule. If you still do not want to use cosine rule, drop a perpendicular from O to PQ then you will see that cos ( θ ) = R 2 x which is what the solution says
Can you send me other questions where you used this figure?
Great Great Great!!!+1
You didnnt mention inertia data
similar problem in the book problems in general physics by i e irodov

Well, I made it myself. Which problem of irodov are you talking about?
This one is harder one I guess

This is the third time I am posting the same figure (:P)
Let P be the fixed point. Consider a small element (an arc of radius x) in red on the disk. The force of friction is tangential at every point on the arc, as the slipping tendency is tangential.
Clearly, d m = 2 σ θ x d x
Using cosine rule in △ O P Q ,
cos θ = 2 R x ⇒ θ = cos − 1 ( 2 R x )
d f = μ k d m g = 2 μ k σ g x cos − 1 ( 2 R x ) d x
Clearly, ∣ d τ P ∣ = x d f = 2 μ k σ g x 2 cos − 1 ( 2 R x ) d x
Hence, ∣ τ P ∣ = 2 μ k σ g ∫ 0 2 R x 2 cos − 1 ( 2 R x ) d x
= 1 6 μ k σ g R 3 ∫ 0 1 z 2 cos − 1 z d z
Apply By parts on the integral taking cos − 1 z as first part and z 2 as second part to transform it to:
∫ 0 1 3 1 − z 2 z 3 d z
Put 1 − z 2 = t 2 to get it as :
3 1 ∫ 0 1 ( 1 − t 2 ) d t = 9 2
Putting this value, we get:
∣ τ P ∣ = 9 3 2 μ k σ g R 3
I P = 2 3 m R 2 = 2 3 σ π R 4
Now, α = I P τ P = 2 7 6 4 π R μ k g
Now, t = α ω = 6 4 2 7 μ k g π R ω 0
Hence, a + b = 2 7 + 6 4 = 9 1
