    VA = O'A × ω
    1 = 1 cos 60° × ω
    ω = 2 rad/s

    Correct Option: A


    VA = O'A × ω
    1 = 1 cos 60° × ω
    ω = 2 rad/s


  1. Figure shows a quick return mechanism. The cranks OA rotates clockwise uniformly. OA = 2 cm, OO' = 4 cm. The ratio of time for forward motion to that for return motion is

  1. A uniform thin disk of mass 1 kg and radius 0.1 m is kept on a surface as shown in the figure. The spring of stiffness k1 = 400 N/m is connected to the disk center A and another spring of stiffness k2 = 100 N/m is connected at point B just above point A on the circumference of the disk. Initially, both the springs are unstretched. A assume pure rolling of the disk. For small disturbance from the equilibrium, the natural frequency of vibration of the system is _____rad/ s (round off to one decimal place).
