A solid cylinder is released from rest from the top of an inclined plane of inclination 30° and length 60 cm. If the cylinder rolls without slipping, its speed upon reaching the bottom of the inclined plane is ______ m s-1. (Given g=10 m s-2)

 

Solution

Let speed of cylinder upon reaching the bottom of the inclined plane be v.

Here, gain in kinetic energy=loss in potential energy

So, 12Iω2+12mv2=mglsinθ

12mr22ω2+12mv2=mglsin30°

For pure rolling, v=rω

12mr22vr2+12mv2=mglsin30°

14mv2+12mv2=mglsin30°34mv2=mgl2v=4gl6

Putting the values, we have

v=4×10×0.66=2 m s-1
