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.
$\sqrt{\frac{\mu}{\alpha}}$
