Correct answer: 7
- Use conservation of mechanical energy
Since both bodies roll without slipping, their initial total kinetic energy converts completely into gravitational potential energy at the highest point.
So,
with
Also, for rolling without slipping,
- For the solid sphere
Moment of inertia of a solid sphere about its center:
Thus,
So total initial kinetic energy is
At maximum height ,
Hence,
- For the hollow cylinder
For a hollow cylinder (ring),
Thus,
So total initial kinetic energy is
At maximum height ,
Hence,
- Find the ratio
Given,
So,
- Final answer
