Rolling Motion

A solid cylinder and a solid sphere, having same mass MM and radius RR, roll down the same inclined plane from top without slipping. They start from rest. The ratio of velocity of the solid cylinder to that of the solid sphere, with which they reach the ground, will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Rolling from height hh: v2=2gh1+k2/R2v^2 = \dfrac{2gh}{1 + k^2/R^2}.
  2. Cylinder: vc2=43ghv_c^2 = \frac{4}{3}gh; sphere: vs2=107ghv_s^2 = \frac{10}{7}gh.
  3. vcvs=4/310/7=1415\dfrac{v_c}{v_s} = \sqrt{\dfrac{4/3}{10/7}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{14}{15}}
  4. So the answer is (d).
