Rolling Motion

A ring and a solid sphere roll down the same inclined plane without slipping. They start from rest. The radii of both bodies are identical and the ratio of their kinetic energies is 7x\frac{7}{x}, where xx is _________.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 7

  1. Starting from rest, each body's total KE at the bottom equals the PE lost, mghmgh, whatever its shape.
  2. Taking equal masses and the same height, KEring:KEsphere=1=77KE_{ring} : KE_{sphere} = 1 = \dfrac{7}{7}.
  3. So x=7x = 7.
