Vedclass · Answer

(C) The acceleration $a$ of a body rolling without slipping on an inclined plane of angle $	heta$ is given by the formula:$a = \frac{g \sin 	heta}{1 + \frac{K^2}{R^2}}$where $K$ is the radius of gyration and $R$ is the radius of the sphere.For a uniform solid sphere,the moment of inertia $I = \frac{2}{5}MR^2$. Since $I = MK^2$,we have $K^2 = \frac{2}{5}R^2$,which implies $\frac{K^2}{R^2} = \frac{2}{5}$.Substituting this into the acceleration formula:$a = \frac{g \sin 	heta}{1 + \frac{2}{5}} = \frac{g \sin 	heta}{\frac{7}{5}} = \frac{5}{7} g \sin 	heta$Since the acceleration $a$ is independent of both the mass $M$ and the radius $R$,both spheres will have the same acceleration. Given they start from rest from the same height,they will reach the bottom at the same time. Thus,option $C$ is correct.

Two uniform solid spheres having unequal masses and unequal radii are released from rest from the same height on a rough incline. If the spheres roll without slipping,
