MCQ
Two particles move on a circular path (one just inside and the other just outside) with angular velocities $\omega$ and $5\omega$ starting from the same point. Then
  • A
    they cross each other at points on the path subtending $90^o$ at the centre if their angular  velocities  are in the same sense. 
  • B
    they cross each other at points on the path subtending an angle of $60^o$ at the centre if their angular velocities are oppositely directed.
  • C
    they cross at intervals of time $\frac{\pi }{{3\omega }}$  if their angular velocities are oppositely directed.
  • All of the above

Answer

Correct option: D.
All of the above
d
case $1$

When both move in opposite direction

$\theta_{1}=w t$

$\theta_{2}=5 w t$

They meet each other when $\theta_{2}+\theta_{1}=2 \pi$

$\therefore 5 w t+w t=2 \pi$

$\therefore w t=\frac{\pi}{3}=60^{\circ}$

le. the bodies cross each other at points subtending an angle of $60^{\circ}$ if their angular velocities are directed opposite to each other.

case $2$

When both move in same direction $\theta_{1}=w t$

$\theta_{2}=5 w t$

They meet each other when $\theta_{2}-\theta_{1}=2 \pi$

$\therefore 5 w t-w t=2 \pi$

$\therefore w t=\frac{\pi}{2}=90^{\circ}$

i.e. the bodies cross each other at points subtending an angle of $90^{\circ}$ if their angular velocities are similar.

Now, when opposity directed, beat frequency$:$

$=\boldsymbol{n}_{2}-\boldsymbol{n}_{1}$

$=\frac{5 w}{2 \pi}-\left(\frac{-w}{2 \pi}\right)$

$=\frac{3 w}{\pi}$

$\therefore T=\frac{\pi}{3 w}$
