8. A hollow cylinder with mass m and radius R stands on a horizontal surface with its smooth flat
end in contact the surface everywhere. A thread has been wound around it and its free end is
pulled with velocity v in parallel to the thread. Find the speed of the cylinder. Consider two cases:
(a) the coefficient of friction between the surface and the cylinder is zero everywhere except for

Paragraph Question 23 To 24
The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of (i) a motion of its
centre of mass about an axis, and (ii) its motion about an instantaneous axis passing through center
of mass. disc These axes need not be stationary. Consider, for
example, a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed)
horizontally at its rim to a massless stick, as shown in the
figure. Where disc stick system is rotated about the origin on
a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed, the motion
at any instant can be taken as a combination of (i) a rotation
of the centre of mass the disc about the z -axis, and (ii) a rotation of the disc through an
instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed
orientation of points P and Q). Both the motions have the same angular speed ω in the case
Now consider two similar systems as shown in the figure: case (a) the disc with its face vertical
and parallel to x − z plane; Case (b) the disc with its face making an angle of 45∘ with x − y plane
its horizontal diameter parallel to x -axis. In both the cases, the disc is welded at point P, and
systems are rotated with constant angular speed ω about the z-axis.

23. Which of the following statements regarding the angular speed about the instantaneous axis
(passing through the centre of mass) is correct?

Paragraph Question 26 To 27
A frame of reference that is accelerated with respect to an inertial frame of reference is called a
non-inertial frame of reference. A coordinate system fixed on a circular disc rotating about a fixed
axis with a constant angular velocity ω is an example of a noninertial frame of reference. The
relationship between the force ⃗Frot experience by a particle of mass m moving on the rotating disc
and the force F ⃗ in experienced by the particle in an inertial frame of reference is
⃗ rot = F
F ⃗ in + 2 m(v ⃗⃗ ) + m(ω
⃗ rot × ω ⃗⃗ × r) × ω
⃗⃗
where v ⃗ rot is the velocity of the particle in the rotating frame of reference and r is the position
vector of the particle with respect to the centre of the disc. Now consider a smooth slot along a
diameter of a disc of radius R rotating counterclockwise with a constant angular speed ω about
its vertical axis through its center. We assign a coordinate system with the origin at the center of
the disc, the x-axis along the slot, the y-axis perpendicular to the slot and the z-axis along the
rotation axis (ω ⃗⃗ = ωk̂). A small block of mass m is gently placed in the slot at r = (R/2)î at t =
