Consider a situation in which a ring, a solid cylinder and a solid sphere roll down on the same inclined plane without slipping. Assume that they start rolling from rest and having identical diameter. The correct statement for this situation is:-

  1. 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.
  2. B The ring has the greatest and the cylinder has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.
  3. C All of them will have same velocity.
  4. D The cylinder has the greatest and the sphere has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.

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

\(a=\frac{g \sin \theta}{1+\frac{I}{m R^{2}}}\) \(I_{\text {ring }}\,>\,I_{\text {solid cylinder }}\,>\,I_{\text {solid sphere }}\) \(\Rightarrow a_{\text {ring }}\,<\,a_{\text {solidcylinder }}\,>\,a_{\text {solidsphere }}\)…
