26-02-09 Rotational and Electric Field :)

There is a solid cyllinder of radius R and length L of mass M and a charge Q uniformly distributed on the mass.

There is an electric field E along the -ve X axis. gravity acts downwards

The cyllinder is kept next to a wall. THe circular face is towards the ground. There is contact with the wall which parallel to the Y axis.

The cyllinder is rotating with a angular velocity ω

Find the time after which the cyllinder will come to rest. Also find the angular displacement.

Assume that the block has a fixed axis of rotation.

Coeff of friction on the horizontal floor is k
Coeff of friction on the wall is n

This is a question I just got in my mind while teaching today ;)
Not very difficult but checks your concept of rotational pretty well.

There is friction on both the walls :)

And it is different too..

Sorry take this as a correction

why has he integrated for torque due to friction due to ground??
also wat will be the direction of friction due to ground??

@iitimcoming..

I teach 2 guys here at our office..(which btw has a small classroom as well :)
It is now more of an informal relationship which started with something formal...

@chinmay... he has to integrate it becasue the radius of the torque will be different at differne tpoints...

Direction will be such that it opposes the rotation (relative motion!)

got it.
thanks sir.
