MCQ
When a ceiling fan is switched off its angular velocity reduces to $50\%$ while it makes $ 36$ rotations. How many more rotation will it make before coming to rest (Assume uniform angular retardation)
  • A
    $18$
  • $12$
  • C
    $36$
  • D
    $48$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$12$
b
(b) By using equation ${\omega ^2} = \omega _0^2 - 2\alpha \theta $

${\left( {\frac{{{\omega _0}}}{2}} \right)^2} = \omega _0^2 - 2\alpha (2\pi n)$

$⇒$ $\alpha = \frac{3}{4}\frac{{\omega _0^2}}{{4\pi \times 36}}$, $(n = 36)$..$(i)$

Now let fan completes total $n'$ revolution from the starting to come to rest

$0 = \omega _0^2 - 2\alpha (2\pi n')$ $⇒$ $n' = \frac{{\omega _0^2}}{{4\alpha \pi }}$

substituting the value of   from equation $(i)$

$n' = \frac{{\omega _0^2}}{{4\pi }}\frac{{4 \times 4\pi \times 36}}{{3\omega _0^2}} = 48$ revolution

Number of rotation $= 48 -36 = 12$

A unit scale is to be prepared whose length does not change with temperature and remains $20\,cm$, using a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length. The length of both components would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remains constant. If length of brass is $40\,cm$ and length of iron will be$...cm$

$\left(\alpha_{\text {iron }}=1.2 \times 10^{-5} K ^{-1}\right.$ and $\left.\alpha_{\text {brass }}=1.8 \times 10^{-5} K ^{-1}\right)$.
