Rotational Motion Question 5

Question 5 - 2024 (29 Jan Shift 1)

A cylinder is rolling down on an inclined plane of inclination $60^{\circ}$. It’s acceleration during rolling down will be $\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}} m / s^{2}$, where $x=$ (use $g=10 m / s^{2}$ ).

Show Answer

Answer: (10)

Solution:

For rolling motion, $a=\frac{g \sin \theta}{1+\frac{I _{c m}}{MR^{2}}}$

$a=\frac{g \sin \theta}{1+\frac{1}{2}}$

$=\frac{2 \times 10 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{3}$

$=\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}$

Therefore $x=10$
