Rotational Motion Question 74

Question: A solid cylinder of mass 3 kg is rolling on a horizontal surface with velocity 4ms1 . It collides with a horizontal spring of force constant 200Nm1 . The maximum compression produced in the spring will be

[AIPMT (S) 2012]

Options:

A) 0.5 m

B) 0.6 m

C) 0.7 m

D) 0.2 m

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Loss in KE= Gain in spring energy

    12mv2[1+K2R2]=12kxmax2

    where k is the force constant.

    Given, v=4m/s,m=3kg,k=200N/m

    For solid cylinder, K2R2=12

    12×3×(4)2[1+12]=12×200×xmax2

    The maximum compression in the spring

    xmax=0.6m
