Question

A block of mass m moves on a horizontal circular path against the wall of a cylindrical room of radius R. The floor of the room on which the block moves is smooth, but the friction coefficient between the wall and the block is μ. Take μs=μk=μ. The block is given an initial speed v. Obtain the speed of the block 'v' after one revolution.

Solution

The correct option is D ve2πμ
In this case the block is moving on a horizontal circular path of radius R, against a cylindrical wall.


From equation of dynamics towards centre :
N=mv2R ......(1)


at= tangential acceleration
v= initial velocity of block
v= velocity at the end of 1 revolution
Sliding is happening along cylindrical wall
fmax=μN
fmax=μmv2R (from (1))

and tangential acceleration (at) will be opposite to that of velocity direction.
at=fmaxm=μv2R

Expressing acceleration in the form of vdvdx and integrating with suitable limits;
vdvdx=μv2R
vvo1vdv=μR2πR0dx
( at the end of one revolution, distance covered is x=2πR)
lnvlnvo=2μπ

On solving:
lnvv= 2μπ
or v=ve2μπ
