Rolling Motion

A solid cylinder of mass MM and radius RR rolls without slipping down an inclined plane of length LL and height hh. What is the speed of its centre of mass when the cylinder reaches its bottom?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Mgh=12Mv2(1+k2R2)Mgh = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2\left(1 + \frac{k^2}{R^2}\right), with k2R2=12\frac{k^2}{R^2} = \frac{1}{2} for a solid cylinder.
  2. Mgh=34Mv2⇒v=43ghMgh = \frac{3}{4}Mv^2 \Rightarrow v = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}gh}
  3. So the answer is (c) 43gh\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}gh}.
