Q.

A circular ring and a solid sphere having same radius roll down on an inclined plane from rest without slipping. The ratio of their velocities when reached at the bottom of the plane is x5 where x = __________.          [2025]


Ans.

(4)

Applying Mechanical Energy conservation:

ki+Ui=kf+Uf

 0+mgh=12mv2(1+k2R2)+0

 V=2gh1+k2R2

So, Ratio of velocities

VRingVSolid sphere=1+251+1=710

x = 3.5  Rounding off x = 4.
