- Advanced 2026PhysicsSingle correct
Consider a large disk of radius and two smaller disks, each of radius , lying on its circumference, as shown in the figure. The smaller disks are initially in contact with each other, with an angular separation between their centers. They are made to roll without slipping in opposite directions, with constant angular velocities and while the large disk is held stationary. The time at which the smaller disks are again in contact is:

Concrete mixture is made by mixing cement, stone and sand in a rotating cylindrical drum. If the drum rotates too fast, the ingredients remain stuck to the wall of the drum and proper mixing of ingredients does not take place. The maximum rotational speed of the drum in revolutions per minute(rpm) to ensure proper mixing is close to :
