MCQ

A solid cylinder $P$ rolls without slipping from rest down an inclined plane attaining a speed $v_p$ at the bottom. Another smooth solid cylinder $Q$ of same mass and dimensions slides without friction from rest down the inclined plane attaining a speed $v_q$ at the bottom. The ratio of the speeds $\frac{v_q}{v_p}$ is

A
$\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}$
✓
$\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$
C
$\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$
D
$\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}$

Answer

Correct option: B.

$\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

b
(b)

In presence of friction, cylinder rolls and by energy conservation, we have

Initial potential energy $=$ Kinetic energy at bottom

$m g h =( KE )_{\text {translation }}+( KE )_{\text {rotation }}$

$=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2$

$=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2} m r^2\right) \omega^2$

$=\frac{3}{4} m v^2 \quad[\therefore v=r \omega]$

So, $\quad v_p=\sqrt{\frac{4}{3} g h}$

In absence of friction, cylinder slips without rolling.

Hence, $\frac{1}{2} m v^2=m g h$

$\Rightarrow \quad v_q=\sqrt{2 g h}$

So, ratio of $v_q / v_p=\frac{\sqrt{2 g h}}{\sqrt{\frac{4}{3} g h}}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$

The principle of ‘parallax’ is used in the determination of distances of very distant stars. The baseline $AB$ is the line joining the Earth’s two locations six months apart in its orbit around the Sun. That is, the baseline is about the diameter of the Earth’s orbit $\approx 3 \times 10^{11}\;m$. However, even the nearest stars are so distant that with such a long baseline, they show parallax only of the order of $1”$ (second) of arc or so. A parsec is a convenient unit of length on the astronomical scale. It is the distance of an object that will show a parallax of $1”$ (second of arc) from opposite ends of a baseline equal to the distance from the Earth to the Sun. How much is a parsec in terms of metres ?
