Rolling Motion

A body slides down a smooth inclined plane of inclination θ\theta and reaches the bottom with velocity 'V'. If the same body is a ring which rolls down the same inclined plane then linear velocity at the bottom of the plane is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Sliding: V2=2ghV^2 = 2gh.
  2. Rolling ring (k=Rk = R): mgh=12mv2(1+1)⇒v2=ghmgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2(1+1) \Rightarrow v^2 = gh.
  3. v=gh=V2v = \sqrt{gh} = \dfrac{V}{\sqrt{2}}.
  4. So the answer is (a).
