Q.

A solid cylinder of mass 2 kg and radius 50 cm rolls up an inclined plane of angle inclination 30°. The centre of mass of cylinder has speed of 4 m/s. The distance travelled by the cylinder on the incline surface will be (Take g = 10 m/s2)            [2019]

1 2.2 m   
2 1.6 m  
3 1.2 m  
4 2.4 m

Using law of conservation of energy,

mgh=12mvCM2+14mr2ω2

mgssin30°=12mvCM2+14mvCM2
