Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For solid sphere \(\frac{2}{5} mR ^2= mk _{ mph }^2\)

\(k _{ sph }=\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}} R\)

For solid cylinder \(\frac{ mR ^2}{2}= mk _{ cyl }^2\)

\(\Rightarrow k _{ cyl }=\frac{ R }{\sqrt{2}}\)

\(\frac{ k _{ rph }}{ k _{ cyl }}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{ x }}\)

\(\therefore x =5\)
