QAIPMT-2010-Ph-1961: NEET 2010 Physics - Class 11 AIPMT-2010-Ph-1961 Solution: A solid cylinder and a hollow cylinder, both of the same mass…
A solid cylinder and a hollow cylinder, both of the same mass and same external diameter are released from the same height at the same time on an inclined plane. Both roll down without slipping. Which one will reach the bottom first?
Multiple Choice Options
- A Both together only when angle of inclination of plane is
- B Both together
- C Hollow cylinder
- D Solid cylinder
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Time taken to reach the bottom of inclined
plane.
t = 2 l ( 1 + K 2 R 2 ) g sin _ _
Here, l is length of incline plane
For solid cylinder K 2 = R 2 2
For hollow cylinder K 2 = R 2
Hence, solid cylinder will reach the bottom first.
