A wheel of radius R and mass M is placed at the bottom...

A wheel of radius R and mass M is placed at the bottom of a fixed step of height R as shown in the figure. A constant force is continuously applied on the surface of the wheel so that it just climbs the step without slipping. Consider the torque Ï„ about an axis normal to the plane of the paper passing through the point Q. Which of the following options is/are correct?

If the force is applied normal to the circumference at point X then Ï„ is constant
If the force is applied tangentially at point S then τ0 but the wheel never climbs the step
If the force is applied normal to the circumference at point P then τ is zero
If the force is applied at point P tangentially then Ï„ decreases continuously as the wheel climbs
Solution:

(i) is incorrect.

If force is applied normal to surface at point X

Ï„=Fy Rsinθ

Thus τ depends on θ and it is not constant

(ii) is incorrect

If force applied tangentially at S

Ï„=F×R 0

But it will climb as mentioned in question.

If force is applied normal to surface at P then line of action of force will pass from Q and thus Ï„=0

(iv) is incorrect.

If force is applied at P tangentially the Ï„=F×2R=constant
