The Ring is retarded to 0 rad/s

Consider a ring of mass m m and radius R R touching a rough wall of coefficient of friction μ \mu as shown in figure. The ring has an initial angular velocity of ω 0 \omega_0 .

Find the time taken by the ring to come to a halt.

Details and Assumptions

  • The ring doesn't translate on the wall.

  • μ = 1 3 \mu = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

  • m = 1 k g m = 1 kg

  • R = 1 m R = 1 m

  • α = π 3 \alpha = \dfrac{\pi}{3}

  • ω 0 = 10 r a d / s \omega_0 = 10 rad/s

  • g = 10 m / s 2 g = 10 m/s^2

2 solutions

Since the ring does not translate on the wall, let us consider translational equilibrium.

F x = F y = 0 \displaystyle \sum F_x = \sum F_y = 0

Let the frictional force by the wall on the ring be f f , Normal reaction be N N and Tension is the string be T T .

F x = N T sin α = 0 \displaystyle \sum F_x = N - T\sin \alpha = 0

F y = f + T cos α m g = 0 \displaystyle \sum F_y = f + T\cos \alpha - mg = 0

f = μ N f = \mu N

Now the Rotational motion is to be analysed. The Friction would give angular retardation, say β \beta (since α \alpha is used) about the centre of the ring.

Writing Torque equation about centre of ring,

f R = m R 2 β f R = m R^2 \beta

To find time taken to retard to 0 r a d / s 0 rad/s :

0 ω 0 = β t t = ω 0 β 0 - \omega_0 = -\beta t \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{\omega_0}{\beta}

Solving these equations, you get

f = μ m g sin α μ sin α + cos α f = \dfrac{\mu mg \sin \alpha}{\mu \sin \alpha + \cos \alpha}

β = μ g sin α ( μ sin α + cos α ) R \beta = \dfrac{\mu g \sin \alpha}{(\mu \sin \alpha + \cos \alpha) R}

t = ω 0 ( μ sin α + cos α ) R μ g sin α = 2 t = \dfrac{ \omega_0 (\mu \sin \alpha + \cos \alpha) R}{\mu g \sin \alpha} = \boxed{2}

draw Free body Diagram, resolve forces in x and y axis . ten apply dL/dt=rXF. which gives. Iw/t=r f = r (mu)(Tsin(alpha)) and T=mg/(cos(alpha)+(mu)sin(alpha)) using these two, we get, t=wr(1+(mu)tan(alpha))/((mu) tan(alpha) g).
