A) Solid sphere
B) Hollow sphere
C) Disc
D) All will reach in same time
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Key Idea; In rolling without slipping acceleration of all the objects down the plane is different Acceleration of rolling body down an inclined plane \[\alpha =\frac{g\sin \theta }{1+\frac{\operatorname{I}}{m{{R}^{2}}}}\] ... (i) For solid sphere; \[I=\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}}\Rightarrow \frac{I}{M{{R}^{2}}}=\frac{2}{5}\] \[\therefore \] \[a=\frac{g\sin \theta }{1+\frac{2}{5}}=\frac{5}{7}g\,\sin \theta \] For hollow sphere; \[I=\frac{2}{3}M{{R}^{2}}\Rightarrow \frac{I}{M{{R}^{2}}}=\frac{2}{3}\] \[\therefore \] \[a=\frac{g\sin \theta }{1+\frac{2}{5}}=\frac{5}{7}g\,\sin \theta \] For disc ; \[I=\frac{1}{2}m{{R}^{2}}\Rightarrow \frac{I}{M{{R}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \] \[a=\frac{g\sin \theta }{1+\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{2}{3}g\,\sin \theta \] It is obvious that acceleration of solid sphere is maximum, so solid sphere will reach the ground in least time.You need to login to perform this action.
