Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The sphere has the greatest and the ring has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a=\frac{g \sin \theta}{1+\frac{I}{m R^{2}}}\)

\(I_{\text {ring }}\,>\,I_{\text {solid cylinder }}\,>\,I_{\text {solid sphere }}\)

\(\Rightarrow a_{\text {ring }}\,<\,a_{\text {solidcylinder }}\,>\,a_{\text {solidsphere }}\)

\(\Rightarrow v_{\text {ring }}\,<\,v_{\text {solid cylinder }}\,<\,v_{\text {solid sphere }}\)
