1) A uniform circular disc of mass 1.5 kg and radius 0.5m is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. Three forces of equal magnitude F=0.5N are applied simultaneously along the three sides of an equilateral triangle XYZ with its vertices on the perimeter of the disc (see figure) . One second after applying the forces, the angular speed of the disc in rad s-1 is A) 4 B) 3 C) 1 D) 2 Answer: Option DExplanation: Angular impluse = change in angular momentum ∴ ∫τdt=Iω ⇒ ω=∫τdtI =∫3Fsin300RdtI substituting the values, we have ω=3(0.5)(0.5)(0.5)(1)1.5(0.5)22=2rad/s
