A roller is mad e by joining  together two cones at their vertices \(O\). It is kept on two rails \(AB\) and \(CD\), which are placed asymmetrically (see figure) , with its axis perpendicular to \(CD  \) and its centre \(O\) at the centre ofline joining \(AB\) and \(CD\) (see figure) . It is given a light push so that it \(A\) starts rolling with its centre \(O\) moving parallel to \(CD\) in the direction shown. As it moves, the roller will tend to

  1. A go straight
  2. B tum left and right alternately
  3. C turn left
  4. D turn right
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) turn left

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As shown in the diagram, the normal reaction of \(AB\) on roller will shift towards \(O\). This will lead to tending of the system of cones to trun left.
