MCQ
A long horizontal rod has a bead which can slide along its length, and initially placed at a distance $L$ from one end $A$ of the rod. The rod is set in angular motion about $A$ with constant angular acceleration $\alpha$. If the coefficient of friction between the rod and the bead is $\mu$, and gravity is neglected, then the time after which the bead starts slipping is
  • $\sqrt {\frac{\mu }{\alpha }} $
  • B
    $\frac{\mu }{{\sqrt \alpha }}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt {\mu \alpha } }}$
  • D
    Infinitesimal

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\sqrt {\frac{\mu }{\alpha }} $
a
(a) Let the bead starts slipping after time$ t$

For critical condition

Frictional force provides the centripetal force

$m{\omega ^2}L = \mu \,R = \mu \,m \times {a_t} = \mu Lm\alpha $

$⇒$ $m{(\alpha t)^2}L = \mu mL\alpha $ $⇒$ $t = \sqrt {\frac{\mu }{\alpha }} $      (As $\omega = \alpha t$)
