Question

In the given figure , two wheels P and q are connected by a belt B. The radius of P is three times as that of Q. In case of same rotational kinetic energy, the ratio of rotational inertias (IPIQ) will be x:1. The value of x will be

Solution

Let ωP and ωQ be the angular velocity of wheels P and Q respectively, and since, rotational kinetic energy is same for them, the tangential velocity will also be same.
ωP(3R)=ωQ(R) ωQωP=31 ..(1)
Also, from the relation of rotational kinetic energy,
12IP(ωP)2=12IQ(ωQ)2
IPIQ=(ωQωP)2=91 [from eq (1)]
Hence, value of x will be 9.
