A rolling wheel of \(12 \,kg\) is on an inclined plane at position \(P\) and connected to a mass of \(3 \,kg\) through a string of fixed length and pulley as shown in figure. Consider \(PR\) as friction free surface. The velocity of centre of mass of the wheel when it reaches at the bottom \(Q\) of the inclined plane \(P Q\) will be \(\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{ xgh } \,m / s\). The value of \(x\) is.............

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Net loss in \(PE =\) Gain in \(KE\)

\(12 gh -3 gh =\frac{1}{2} 3 v ^{2}+\frac{1}{2} 12 v ^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\left[12 r ^{2}\right]\left(\frac{ v }{ r }\right)^{2}\)

\(9 gh =\frac{1}{2}[3+12+12] v ^{2}\)

\(v ^{2}=\frac{2 gh }{3} \Rightarrow v =\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{8}{3} gh }\)

\(x =\frac{8}{3} \simeq 3\)
