Q.

A thin circular coin of mass gm and radius cm is initially in a horizontal -plane. The coin is tossed vertically up ( direction) by applying an impulse of Ns at a distance cm from its center. The coin spins about its diameter and moves along the direction. By the time the coin reaches back to its initial position, it completes rotations. The value of is ____.

[Given: The acceleration due to gravity ]

Solution

Let kg, m, m, and Ns.

Translation: . Time to return to the start under gravity is .

Rotation: The impulse acts at a perpendicular distance from the diameter through the centre, so the angular impulse is and

, with (moment of inertia of a thin disc about a diameter).

.

Number of rotations:

.

Plug in the numbers:

,,,,.
