Correct answer: 4
-
Let the mass and radius of the solid sphere be and .
-
Since the sphere is rolling without slipping, where is the speed of the centre of mass and is the angular speed.
-
Angular momentum about the axis of rotation: For a solid sphere, moment of inertia about its own axis is So angular momentum about the axis of rotation is
-
Total energy of the moving sphere: This is the sum of translational and rotational kinetic energies. Using and ,
-
Given ratio: So, Substitute and : Cancel :
-
Solve for : Using ,
Therefore,
