The figure shows a system consisting of (i) a ring of outer radius 3R rolling clockwise without slipping on a horizontal surface with angular speed ω and (ii) an inner disc of radius 2R rotating anti-clockwise with angular speed ω/2. The ring and disc are separated by frictionless ball bearings. The point P on the inner disc is at a distance R from the origin, where OP makes an angle of 30∘ with the horizontal. Then with respect to the horizontal surface,


Solution:
Velocity at centre 'O' ∴→vo=3Rωˆi

→VP=3Rωˆi−Rω2sin30∘ˆi+Rω2cos30∘ˆk
∴→VP=[3Rωˆi−Rω4ˆi]+√3Rω4ˆk
or, →VP=114Rωˆi+√34Rωˆk

→VP=3Rωˆi−Rω2sin30∘ˆi+Rω2cos30∘ˆk
∴→VP=[3Rωˆi−Rω4ˆi]+√3Rω4ˆk
or, →VP=114Rωˆi+√34Rωˆk
