Rotational Motion Question 148

Question: A solid cylinder of mass m & radius R rolls down inclined plane without slipping. The speed of C.M. when it reaches the bottom is

Options:

A) 2gh

B) 4gh/3

C) 3/4gh

D) 4gh

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] By energy conservation

(K.E)i+(P.E)i=(K.E)f+(P.E)f

(K.E)i=0,(P.E)i=mgh,(P.E)f=0

(K.E)f=1/2Iω2+12mvcm2

 Where I  moment of inertia=1/2mR2 (for solid cylinder) so 

mgh=1/2(1/2mR2)(v2cmR2)+12mvcm2.

vcm=4gh/3
