In a continuous printing process, paper roll is wrapped on a cylindrical core which is free to rotate about a fixed horizontal axis. The paper is drawn into the process at a constant speed , as shown in the figure. If is the radius of paper on the roll at any given time and is the thickness of the paper, then the angular acceleration of the roll at this instant is

In a continuous printing process, paper roll is wrapped on a cylindrical core which is free to rotate about a fixed horizontal axis. The paper is drawn into the process at a constant speed , as shown in the figure. If is the radius of paper on the roll at any given time and is the thickness of the paper, then the angular acceleration of the roll at this instant is
- A
- B
zero because is constant
- Correct answerC
- Dcannot be calculated from given information
Solution
In a continuous printing process suppose the total length of paper is .
If is the inner radius of roll then, ...(i)
And at this moment, ...(ii)
Differentiating equation (i) w.r.t. time,
...(iii)
Differentiating equation (ii) w.r.t time
...(iv)
Using (iii) and (iv),
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
