A thin circular ring and a circular disc of equal mass are rolling without sliding. If their linear velocities are equal and the total kinetic energy of the disc is 6 J, then the total kinetic energy of the ring is

  1. A 6 J
  2. B 3 J
  3. C 8 J
  4. D 4 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 8 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( KE_d = \frac{1}{2} M v^2 + \frac{1}{2} I_d \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} M v^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2} M R^2) (\frac{v}{R})^2 = \frac{3}{4} M v^2 \) \( 6 = \frac{3}{4} M v^2 \implies M v^2 = 8 \)…
