Solve the following :

Question:

A cylinder rotating at an angular speed of $50 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{s}$ is brought in contact with an identical stationary cylinder. Because of the kinetic friction, torques act on the two cylinders, accelerating the stationary one and decelerating the moving one. If the common magnitude of the acceleration and deceleration be one revolution per second square, how long will it take before the two cylinders have equal angular speed?

Solution:

Let after time 't' their angular velocity be ' $\omega$ '

$I^{s t}$ cylinder :- $\omega_{0}=50 \frac{\text { rev }}{\sec } ; \alpha=-1 \frac{\text { sev }}{}$

$\omega=\omega_{0}+\alpha t$

$\omega=50-t-(i)$

$I I^{\text {nd }}$ cylinder :- $\omega_{0}=0 ; \alpha=1 \frac{r e v}{\sec }$

$\omega=\omega_{0}+\alpha t$

From (i) and (ii)

$\omega=25 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{sec}$

$t=25 \mathrm{sec}$
