Rolling without slipping in a ring!

A small block of mass ‘ m m is rigidly attached at ‘ P ‘P ’ to a ring of mass ‘ 3 m 3m ’ and radius ‘ r r . The system is released from rest at θ = 9 0 \theta = 90^\circ and rolls without sliding.

If the angular acceleration of hoop just after release is g n r \large \frac{g}{nr} , find the value of n n .


The answer is 8.

I did it using I A R IAR that is instantaneous axis of rotation

τ I A R = I I A R α \huge{\tau_{IAR}=I_{IAR} \alpha}

α \alpha is angular acceleration, I I A R I_{IAR} is moment of inertia about I A R IAR

m g r = ( 3 m r 2 + 3 m r 2 + m ( 2 r ) 2 ) α mgr=(3mr^{2}+3mr^{2}+m({\sqrt{2}r})^{2})\alpha

α = g 8 r \large{\boxed{\alpha=\frac{g}{8r}}}

The shortest method i could find

The Method is elegant but here one point should also be stressed that this method is applicable here just because its the starting of motion, otherwise the instantaneous axis of rotation will be accelerated and we need to take its acceleration into account as well.

yup correct

At any general time t, is the acceleration of Iar, same as the CM of ring?

but its rolling.. so no acceleration of iar

short and nice... did the same way!! ¨ \ddot \smile

Thats nice! But Im a bit confused. How do we ascertain the location of instantaneous axis of rotation here. Since we arent given if its pure rolling etc.

I just took the place where fric.=0 and used toque and found out alpha.

where σ \sigma is the angular acceleration of the hoop.

Brother u applied torque equation about a point which is not COM

exactly.. but got answer

I dont understand equation 2...please explain...they are perpendicular then how are the added or subtracyed directly?
