Q5 / 223 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Rotational Motion

The wheels on the old-time bicycle shown in diagram have radii of 60.0 cm. and 10.0 cm. If the larger wheel is rotating at 12.0 rad s-1, what is the angular speed of the smaller wheel?

Figure

  • A
    12.0 rad s-1
  • B
    60.0 rad s-1
  • Correct answer
    C
    72.0 rad s-1
  • D
    2.0 rad s-1

Solution

The linear velocity of both wheels will be the same

      6 0 × 1 2 = 1 0 × ω

               ω=72 rad s-1

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
