Rotational Dynamics of a Pivoted Circular Disk and Particle Collision

A uniform circular disk of radius 0.2Β m0.2 \text{ m} and mass 1Β kg1 \text{ kg} is pivoted at its top point CC such that it can rotate freely around CC in the XYXY plane, as shown in the figure. Initially, when the disk is at rest, a particle of mass 20Β g20 \text{ g}, travelling along negative xx direction in the XYXY plane with speed 100Β msβˆ’1100 \text{ ms}^{-1}, hits the circumference of the disk at a point PP. After collision the particle moves along negative yy direction at a speed of 90Β msβˆ’190 \text{ ms}^{-1}. [Given: the acceleration due to gravity (g)=βˆ’10j^Β msβˆ’2(g) = - 10 \hat{j} \text{ ms}^{-2}]

Passage

After the collision the disk starts to rotate around point CC in the XYXY plane. The maximum change in the height (in m) of its center OO is:
