Q.

A solid cylinder having radius R and length L is slipping on a rough horizontal plane. At time t=0 the cylinder has a translational velocity v0=49 m/s, perpendicular to its axis and a rotational velocity v0/4R about the centre. The time taken by the cylinder to start rolling is ______ seconds. (coefficient of kinetic friction μK = 0.25 and g = 9.8 m/s2)               [2026]

L→ is conserved about A:

Mv0R+MR22ω=MvR+MR22ω

Mv0R+MR22(v04R)=MvR+MR22(vR)

Mv0R+Mv0R8=MvR+MvR2

9Mv0R8=3MvR2⇒v=3v04

v=v0+at

3v04=v0-μkgt

μkgt=v04⇒t=v04μkg

⇒t=v04μkg=494×14×9.8=5 sec
