Rolling Motion question from NEET 2002 (AIPMT)

Q90NEET 2002 · AIPMTDifficult

Rolling Motion

A solid sphere of radius R is placed on smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force F is applied at height h from the lowest point. For the maximum acceleration of centre of mass, which is correct?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. The surface is smooth, so there is no friction; the only horizontal force is FF.
  2. acm=FMa_{cm} = \dfrac{F}{M} whatever the height hh (h only changes the angular acceleration).
  3. So the answer is (d) no relation between h and R.
