A solid cylinder of radius 'R' and mass 'M' rolls down an inclined plane of height 'h'. When it reaches the bottom of the plane, its rotational kinetic energy is \((\mathrm{g}=\) acceleration due to gravity)

  1. A \(\frac{\text { Mgh }}{3}\)
  2. B Mgh
  3. C \(\frac{\text { Mgh }}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{Mgh}}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\text { Mgh }}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \text { Total } \mathrm{KE} &=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mv}^{2}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^{2} \\ &=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mv}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MR}^{2}\right) \mathrm{v}^{2} \\ &=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Mv}^{2}+\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{Mv}^{2}=\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{Mv}^{2}=\mathrm{Mgh} \end{aligned}\)
