Questions  

Two identical solid cylinders roll from rest on two identical inclined planes of slant lengths s and 2s but of the same height h. Then, the velocities, v1 and v2 acquired by the cylinders when they reach the bottom of the incline are related as

a
v1 = v2
b
v1 = 2v2
c
2v1 = v2
d
none of the above

detailed solution

Correct option is A

For pure rolling , kinetic energy of a solid cylinder = 12mv2+12(12mR2) = 34mv2conserving energy , 34mv2 =mgh ⇒v =43gh therefore,v1=v2
