    A solid cylinder of mass M and radius R rolls down an inclined plane without slipping. The speed of its center of mass when it reaches the bottom is (h is the height of inclined plane):

    A) \[\sqrt{2gh}\]              

    B) \[\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}gh}\]         

    C)      \[\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}gh}\]         

    D)      \[\sqrt{\frac{4g}{h}}\]    

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the sought speed be v. Now from conservation of mechanical energy, we get \[mgh=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}\] For pure rolling \[\omega =\frac{v}{R}.\] Putting this value of \[\omega \] in the above equation, we get \[v=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{1+\frac{I}{M{{R}^{2}}}}}\] For cylinder, \[I=\frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}}\]\[\therefore \]\[v=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{1+\frac{1}{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{4gh}{3}}\] Hence, the correction option is (b).
