  1. A ring
  2. B solid cylinder
  3. C solid sphere
  4. D both ring & solid sphere
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) ring

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Say, the radius of gyration of the body is K. The mass is m. The height is h. The radius of the body is R. According to the conservation of mechanical energy,mgh=12mv21+K2R2 or v2=2gh1+K2R2 Note: It is independent of the mass of the rolling body. For a ring, K2=R2 So, the speed…
