Rolling Motion

A circular ring and a solid sphere having same radius roll down on an inclined plane from rest without slipping. The ratio of their velocities when reached at the bottom of the plane x5\sqrt{\frac{x}{5}} where the value of xx is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Rolling from height hh: v2=2gh1+k2/R2v^2 = \dfrac{2gh}{1 + k^2/R^2}.
  2. Ring: vr2=ghv_r^2 = gh; solid sphere: vs2=107ghv_s^2 = \frac{10}{7}gh.
  3. vrvs=710=3.55\dfrac{v_r}{v_s} = \sqrt{\dfrac{7}{10}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{3.5}{5}}
  4. So x=3.5x = 3.5: answer (b).
