6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
medium
A cord is wound round the circumference of wheel of radius $r$. The axis of the wheel is horizontal and moment of inertia about it is $I$. A weight $mg$ is attached to the end of the cord and falls from rest. After falling through a distance $h$, the angular velocity of the wheel will be
A
$\sqrt {\frac{{2gh}}{{I + mr}}} $
B
$\sqrt {\frac{{2mgh}}{{I + m{r^2}}}} $
C
$\sqrt {\frac{{2mgh}}{{I + 2m{r^2}}}} $
D
$\sqrt {2gh} $
Solution
According to law of conservation of energy
$mgh = \frac{1}{2}(I + m{r^2}){\omega ^2}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\omega = \sqrt {\frac{{2mgh}}{{I + m{r^2}}}} $.
