Rolling Motion

A solid cylinder is suspended symmetrically through two massless strings, as shown in the figure. The distance from the initial rest position, the cylinder should be unbinding the strings to achieve a speed of 4 ms−14\text{ ms}^{-1}, is ____________ cm. (take g = 10 ms−210\text{ ms}^{-2})

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

Show answer and solution

Answer: 120

  1. The cylinder unwinds like a yo-yo (rolling on the strings), k=12k = \frac{1}{2}.
  2. mgh=12mv2(1+12)⇒h=3v24gmgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\left(1+\frac{1}{2}\right) \Rightarrow h = \dfrac{3v^2}{4g}.
  3. h=3×1640=1.2h = \dfrac{3 \times 16}{40} = 1.2 m =120= 120 cm.
