Question

A uniform disc of mass m and radius r is pivoted at point p and is free to rotate in vertical plane. The centre C of disc is initially in horizontal position with p. if it is released from this position then it's angular acceleration when the line PC is inclined to the horizontal at an angle q

Solution

The correct option is D α=2gcosθ3R
we need to find the torque on the disc about its point P when it is at angle with the horizontal.

now by the equation we can say
τ=F×R×sin(90θ)
plug in values in it
τ=mg×R×cosθ
now we can use
τ=Iα
now the moment of inertia of disc about point P
I=32mR2
now plug in all values in above equation
mgRcosθ=32mR2×a
so angular acceleration is given as
α=2gcosθ3R
so above is the angular acceleration of disc at given position
Hence,
option (D) is correct answer.
