Questions  

A cylinder rolls up an inclined plane, reaches some height and then rolls down (without slipping through out these motions). The directions of frictional force acting on the cylinder are

 

a
up the incline while ascending and down the incline while descending
b
up the incline while ascending as well as descending
c
down the incline while ascending and up the incline while descending
d
down the incline while ascending as well as descending

detailed solution

Correct option is B

During descending both translational and rotational motions are accelerated  and the torque of f about centre of  mass produces  rotational motion whereas during ascending the torque of f produces retardation of rotation.
