MCQ
A cord is wound round the circumference of wheel of radius $r$. The axis of the wheel is horizontal and the moment of inertia about it is $I. \,A$ weight $mg$ is attached to the cord at the end. The weight falls from rest. After falling through a distance $ 'h '$, the square of angular velocity of wheel will be ..... .
  • A
    $\frac{2 mgh }{ I +2 mr ^{2}}$
  • $\frac{2 mgh }{ I + mr ^{2}}$
  • C
    $2 gh$
  • D
    $\frac{2 gh }{ I + mr ^{2}}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{2 mgh }{ I + mr ^{2}}$
b
$mgh =\frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2}+\frac{1}{2} mv ^{2}$

$v =\omega r$

$mgh =\frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2}+\frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2} r ^{2}$

$\frac{2 mgh }{\left( I + mr ^{2}\right)}=\omega^{2}$
