    A solid cylinder of mass M, radius R is attached to a horizontal mass less spring of spring constant k, so that it can roll without slipping along a horizontal surface. If the cylinder is slightly displaced and released, the time period of the SHM it executes is :-

    A)  \[2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}\]                

    B)  \[2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2M}{k}}\]

    C)  \[2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{2k}}\]              

    D)  \[2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3M}{2k}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    When cylinder is slightly displaced and released, let at an instant, v be the velocity of the cylinder, \[\omega \] be its angular velocity and x be the extension in the spring. Total energy of the system is \[E=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}} \right){{\omega }^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}}\]                                 \[\left[ \because \,\,\,I=\frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}} \right]\] \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{4}m{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}}=\frac{3}{4}m{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}}\] As energy is conserved, so \[\frac{dE}{dt}=0=\frac{3}{2}Mv\frac{dv}{dt}+kx\frac{dx}{dt}\]                 or            \[\frac{dv}{dt}=-\frac{2k}{3M}x\] or Acceleration \[a=\frac{dv}{dt}=-\frac{2k}{3M}x\]  ..... (i) Comparing (i) with \[a=-{{\omega }^{2}}x,\] we have \[\omega =\sqrt{\frac{2k}{3M}}\]\[\therefore \] \[T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega }=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{3M}{2k}}\]
