Q42 / 51 · JEE Advanced 2023 (Paper 2) · Physics
A thin circular coin of mass and radius is initially in a horizontal -plane. The coin is tossed vertically up ( direction) by applying an impulse of at a distance 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 ]

[Given: The acceleration due to gravity ]

Correct answer: 30
Solution
By impulse momentum theorem:
Total time of journey
Also, by angular impulse momentum theorem:
Number of rotations
Therefore, .
Hence, the correct answer is 30.
