Here, mass of the disc, M = 5kg Radius of the disc R = 50cm $=\frac{1}{2}\text{m}$ Linear velocity of the disc, $v = 10ms^{-1}$ $\text{As v}=\text{R}\omega$
$\therefore10=\frac{1}{2}\omega$ or $\omega=10\times2=20\text{ radian/sec.}$ Also, moment of intertia of disc about or axis through its centre. $\text{l}=\frac{1}{2}\text{MR}^2$ K.E. of the disc $=\frac{1}{2}\text{I}\omega^2+\frac{1}{2}\text{Mv}^2$
$=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\text{MR}^2}{2}\omega^2+\frac{1}{2}\text{Mv}^2$
$=\frac{1}{4}\times5\times\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2\times(20)^2+\frac{1}{2}\times5(10)^2$
$=375\text{J}.$

    Separation of Motion of a system of particles into motion of the centre of mass and motion about the centre of mass: Show $\frac{\text{dL}}{\text{dt}}=\sum\text{r}'_\text{i}\times\frac{\text{dp}'}{\text{dt}}$ Further, show that $\frac{\text{dL}'}{\text{dt}}=\tau'_\text{ext}$ where $\tau'_\text{ext}$ is the sum of all external torques acting on the system about the centre of mass. (Hint: Use the definition of centre of mass and third law of motion. Assume the internal forces between any two particles act along the line joining the particles)

    A block of mass M is moving with a velocity $v_1$ on a frictionless surface as shown in fig. It passes over to a cylinder of radius R and moment of inertia I which has fixed axis and is initially at rest. When it first makes contact with the cylinder, it slips on the cylinder, but the friction is large enough so that slipping ceases before it losses contact with the cylinder. Finally it goes to the dotted position with velocity $v_2$ compute $v_2$ in terms of $v_1, M, I$ and $R$.
