Questions  

A drum of radius R and mass M rolls down without slipping along an incline plane of angle θ. The frictional force

a
dissipates energy as heat
b
describes the rotational motion
c
decreases the rotational and translational motion
d
converts translational energy to rotational energy

detailed solution

Correct option is D

The net work done by fictional force when drum rolls down without slipping is zero. ThereforeWnet =0or ,Wtrans +Wrot =0or, ΔKtrans +ΔKrot =0ΔKtrans =−ΔKrot Thus, the frictional force converts the translation energy to rotational energy
