Angular velocity (check it out n tell me what u guys think)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of angular velocity and its implications in two physics problems from Resnick and Halliday's textbook. In the first problem, when a mass chips off from a rotating disc, the conservation of angular momentum indicates that the disc's angular velocity will change due to the loss of mass. The question arises whether the chip maintains the same angular velocity as the disc at the moment it detaches. The second problem explores the angular momentum of two particles moving in straight lines, questioning if they possess angular velocity concerning a fixed point. Ultimately, the discussion emphasizes the relationship between linear and angular velocities in rotating systems.

angular velocity...(check it out n tell me what u guys think)

hello ppl...

consider this problem...

u could refer 2 resnick n halliday 5th edition, the 3rd author is krane. chapter 10, problem no. 8.

theres a disc that's rotating about a horizontal axis with angular velocity 'w'. a small mass 'm' just chips off n flies vertically upwards as the disc is rotationg, what is the final angular velocity of the disc.


now when the chip flies off, it has a linear vel= r.w
is it correct to assume it also has an instantaneous angular velocity= w ?

also refer problem 2 in the same chapter, it says 2 particles (mass 'm' each) r moving in opp directions with speed 'v' along parallel lines sep. by a dist. 'd' find the total angular momentum of system abt any origin.

the second problem requires us to find angular momentum of particles which r moving in st lines. r v req. to make a hypothetical assumption n find the ans. or do the actually have angular velocity.

on similar lines. if we assume the mass 'm' that chips off to have an angular velocity then the result obtained is that the disc continues to rotate with the same angular velocity. does that mean everytime we remove a portion of mass frm the disc, it continues to rotate with same ang. vel. 'w'?

please just answer the question ...do all bodies moving with linear velocities have ang. vel w.r.t a fixed point?

waiting 4 an answer...

For the first problem, you'll want to note that angular momentum is conserved. If the piece flew off, you have a little change in the moment of inertia, which will result in a change in angular velocity.

Try showing some effort on the problem, #2 is hard to decipher.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
