Rolling Motion

Two bodies, a ring and a solid cylinder of same material are rolling down without slipping an inclined plane. The radii of the bodies are same. The ratio of velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane of the ring to that of the cylinder is x2\frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}. Then, the value of x is _____________.

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

Show answer and solution

Answer: 3

  1. Rolling from height hh: v2=2gh1+k2/R2v^2 = \dfrac{2gh}{1 + k^2/R^2}.
  2. Ring: vr2=ghv_r^2 = gh; solid cylinder: vc2=43ghv_c^2 = \frac{4}{3}gh.
  3. vrvc=34=32\dfrac{v_r}{v_c} = \sqrt{\dfrac{3}{4}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, so x=3x = 3.
