A disc of radius R and mass M is rolling horizontally without slipping with speed v. It then moves up an inclined smooth surface as shown in figure. The maximum height that the disc can go up the incline is : [figure]
- 34 v2g
- v2g
- 23 v2g
- 12 v2g
Answer
(4) 12 v2g
Solution
Smooth incline no friction no torque about the centre
stays constant, the rotational KE ( 12I 2 ) does not change; only the translational KE becomes PE.
12Mv2=Mgh
h= 12 v2g
Answer: (4)
Note: The official NTA answer key gives option (1). Our faculty team has re-checked this question and finds option (4) correct, as explained above.
