A solid cylinder and a solid sphere, having same mass and radius , roll down the same inclined plane from top without slipping. They start from rest. The ratio of velocity of the solid cylinder to that of the solid sphere, with which they reach the ground, will be :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Use conservation of mechanical energy
For a body rolling without slipping from height :
Since rolling without slipping,
So,
Hence,
- For the solid cylinder
Moment of inertia about its axis:
Therefore,
So,
- For the solid sphere
Moment of inertia about its axis:
Therefore,
So,
- Find the ratio
- Match with options
So the correct option is D.
