A solid sphere of mass ' m ' and radius ' R ' is rotating about its diameter. A solid cylinder of the same mass and same radius is also rotating about its geometrical axis with angular speed twice that of sphere. The ratio of kinetic energy of sphere to kinetic energy of cylinder will be

  1. A 2:3
  2. B \(1: 5\)
  3. C \(3: 1\)
  4. D \(1: 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1: 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_s = \frac{2}{5}mR^2\) \(K_s = \frac{1}{2}I_s\omega^2 = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{5}mR^2\right)\omega^2 = \frac{1}{5}mR^2\omega^2\)
