Detailed Solution
According to conservation of mechanical energy or mgh = 12mv2(1+k2R2) v2 = (2gh1+k2R2)It is independent of the mass of the rolling body.For a ring, k2 = R2 vring = 2gh1+1 = ghFor a solid cylinder, k2 = R22vcylinder= 2gh1+12 = 4gh3For a solid sphere, k2 = 25R2vsphere = 2gh1+25 = 10 gh7Among the given three bodies the solid sphere has the greatest and the ring has the least velocity at the bottom of the inclined plane.
