This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.

A disc has an angular velocity?

- 5 years, 7 months ago

$\text{angular velocity}=\dfrac{\text{Relative velocity perpendicular to line joining them}}{\text{Distance between them}}$

By simple geometry, $\angle AOP=30^\circ$

Case I: $A$ is fixed to ground, so, the velocity of $P$ will be $\omega R$ at angle $120^\circ$ to the line joining $AP$, thus, $\omega_1=\dfrac{\omega R\cos 30^\circ}{\sqrt{3}R}$

Case II: $A$ is fixed to disc, in this case, velocity of $A$ will add up in relative velocity. In this case also, velocity of $A$ will be $\omega R$ at angle $60^\circ$ to the line joining $AP$. Thus, $\omega_2=\dfrac{\omega R\cos 30^\circ+\omega R\cos 30^\circ}{\sqrt{3}R}=2\omega_1\Rightarrow \dfrac{\omega_1}{\omega_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Was the physics section tough??

- 5 years, 7 months ago

It was NCERTish. I must not blame questions for my marks. I don't like EM.

So who among all of you is supposed to get the highest.

Ok just one last query what makes a problem popular on brilliant. Can u tell ronaks score

- 5 years, 7 months ago

He's getting like 315-320. The quality of problem makes it popular!

- 5 years, 7 months ago

Bhavya Is getting 322.I guess??

- 5 years, 7 months ago

Yes, he does
