A small solid sphere of radius r rolls down an incline without slipping which ends into a vertical loop of radius R. Find the height above the base so that it just loops the loop

a
52R
b
52(R−r)
c
2510(R−r)
d
2710R−17r10

detailed solution

Correct option is D

The minimum velocity at P, top of the loop, should b v=g(R−r)  if the sphere keeps on rolling at top v=ωRmgh=12mv2+12Iω2+mg(2R−r) =12mg(R−r)+1225mR22ω2+mg(2R−r)=710mg(R−r)+mg(2R−r)[ωR=v=g(R−r)]=mg10(27R−17r) or h=110(27R−17r)
