Rolling Motion

A solid cylinder and a solid sphere having same mass and same radius roll down on the same inclined plane. The ratio of the acceleration of the cylinder 'aca_c' to that of sphere 'asa_s' is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Rolling acceleration: a=gsin⁡θ1+k2/R2a = \dfrac{g\sin\theta}{1 + k^2/R^2}.
  2. Cylinder: ac=23gsin⁡θa_c = \frac{2}{3}g\sin\theta; sphere: as=57gsin⁡θa_s = \frac{5}{7}g\sin\theta.
  3. acas=1415\dfrac{a_c}{a_s} = \dfrac{14}{15}.
  4. So the answer is (d).
