89. A thin uniform circular ring is rolling down an inclined plane of inclination $30^{\circ}$ without slipping. Its linear acceleration along the inclination plane will be

[1994]

(a) $\frac{g}{2}$

(b) $\frac{g}{3}$

(c) $\frac{g}{4}$

(d) $\frac{2 g}{3}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 89. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c)

$ a=\frac{g \sin \theta}{(1+K^{2} / R^{2})}=\frac{g \sin 30^{\circ}}{1+1}=\frac{g}{4} $
