Correct answer: 2

  1. For a body rolling without slipping,

v = omega R

where vvv is the speed of the center of mass.

  1. Total kinetic energy of a rolling body is the sum of translational and rotational kinetic energies:

Ktotal=Ktrans+KrotK_{\text{total}} = K_{\text{trans}} + K_{\text{rot}}Ktotal​=Ktrans​+Krot​

Ktotal=12Mv2+12Iω2K_{\text{total}} = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2Ktotal​=21​Mv2+21​Iω2

  1. For a hollow sphere (thin spherical shell) about its symmetry axis,

I=23MR2I = \frac{2}{3}MR^2I=32​MR2

  1. Rotational kinetic energy:

Krot=12(23MR2)ω2=13MR2ω2K_{\text{rot}} = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{3}MR^2\right)\omega^2 = \frac{1}{3}MR^2\omega^2Krot​=21​(32​MR2)ω2=31​MR2ω2

Using v=ωRv = \omega Rv=ωR,

Krot=13Mv2K_{\text{rot}} = \frac{1}{3}Mv^2Krot​=31​Mv2

  1. Translational kinetic energy:

Ktrans=12Mv2K_{\text{trans}} = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2Ktrans​=21​Mv2

So total kinetic energy is

Ktotal=12Mv2+13Mv2=(36+26)Mv2=56Mv2K_{\text{total}} = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2 + \frac{1}{3}Mv^2 = \left(\frac{3}{6}+\frac{2}{6}\right)Mv^2 = \frac{5}{6}Mv^2Ktotal​=21​Mv2+31​Mv2=(63​+62​)Mv2=65​Mv2

  1. Therefore, the required ratio is

KrotKtotal=13Mv256Mv2=13⋅65=25\frac{K_{\text{rot}}}{K_{\text{total}}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}Mv^2}{\frac{5}{6}Mv^2} = \frac{1}{3}\cdot\frac{6}{5} = \frac{2}{5}Ktotal​Krot​​=65​Mv231​Mv2​=31​⋅56​=52​

Given that this ratio is x5\frac{x}{5}5x​,

x5=25\frac{x}{5} = \frac{2}{5}5x​=52​

Hence,

x=2x = 2x=2
