Dartboard Rotation

Consider a thin, uniform circular dartboard of mass M and radius R, initially at rest, constrained to revolve about a fixed tangential axis only (but can revolve freely about that axis), as shown: A player hits a point dart (same mass M) on the dartboard with velocity 'v' perpendicular to its plane, which gets embedded in it (assume the shot is within the dartboard).

The points for the game are expressed as a percentage of the initial angular velocity attained by the embedded dartboard system to its maximum possible value ( ω m a x \omega_{max} ). (Example- if the dartboard attains initial angular velocity ω m a x 4 \frac{\omega_{max}}{4} , then points gained = 25).

Now, if the probability of a player scoring k or more points in 1 shot is a r c s i n ( 1 a ) + b c π \frac{arcsin(\frac{1}{a})+\frac{\sqrt{b}}{c}}{\pi} where a, b, c are integers, b and c are co-prime; find a + b + c.

Particulars:

k = 400 5 9 \frac{400\sqrt{5}}{9} (≈99.3808) points

R = 1 m

v = 1 m/s

This problem is original (up to my knowledge :)). Corrections for any ambiguities will be helpful.


The answer is 35.

Sorry for a few inverted images, I'm not sure about how to straighten the longer pages.

Do share any other solution to this problem.

@Talulah Riley Oh ok. Where u from?

Deepankur Jain - 3 days, 10 hours ago

@Deepankur Jain But the problems you are solving are very very far level than 12 grade .
Are you preparing for IIT or what ?

@Deepankur Jain But you have completed grade 12 course right ,you are studying in a very advance way.

@Talulah Riley No, in fact I'm still lagging in a few concepts and have practically no knowledge of electro-magnetism and other concepts from 12th grade. Also, chemistry and maths are to be done.
