Rolling Motion

A solid cylinder of mass 3 kg3\text{ kg} is rolling on a horizontal surface with velocity 4 m/s4\text{ m/s}. It collides with a horizontal spring whose one end is fixed to rigid support. The force constant of material of spring is 200 N/m200\text{ N/m}. The maximum compression produced in the spring will be (assume collision between cylinder & spring be elastic)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Total KE of rolling solid cylinder: 34mv2=34×3×42=36\frac{3}{4}mv^2 = \frac{3}{4}\times 3 \times 4^2 = 36 J.
  2. All of it is stored in the spring at maximum compression: 12kx2=36\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = 36.
  3. 100x2=36⇒x=0.6100x^2 = 36 \Rightarrow x = 0.6 m.
  4. So the answer is (d).
