Problem 1.112

1.112.1.112 . A horizontal disc rotates with a constant angular velocity ω=6.0\omega=6.0 rad/s about a vertical axis passing through its centre. A small body of mass m=0.50m=0.50 kg moves along a diameter of the disc with a velocity v=50 cm/sv^{\prime}=50 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s} which is constant relative to the disc. Find the force that the disc exerts on the body at the moment when it is located at the distance r=30 cmr=30 \mathrm{~cm} from the rotation axis.

Reveal Answer
F=mg2+ω4r2+(2vω)2=8 NF=m \sqrt{g^{2}+\omega^{4} r^{2}+\left(2 v^{\prime} \omega\right)^{2}}=8 \mathrm{~N}
