Rigid body rotation about a Moving axis  board

Here we analysis the dynamics of rotational motion to some cases in which the axis of rotation a moves. When the happens, the motion of the body is combined translation and rotation. In such situation we always consider that “Every possible motion of a rigid body can be represented as a combination of translational motion of the centre of mass and rotation about an axis through the centre of mass”. This is true even when the centre of mass accelerates, so that it is not at rest in any inertial frame. From example when a bowler throws a ball with spin, in air ball follows a parabolic trajectory as it were a point mass and during this motion the ball is also rotating about its centre of mass. The translation of the centre of mass and the rotation about the centre of mass can eb treated independently.

 

Energy of a body in simultaneous translation and rotational motion

When a body has both translational rotational motion, its total energy can be written as the sum of the two respective kinetic energies. For example, if a body of mass M is rotating about a given axis with an angular speed ω and its moment of inertia about the axis is I and simultaneously the axis moves with a linear velocity v, its total energy can be written as

\displaystyle K=K{{E}_{{\text{tran}}}}+K{{E}_{{\text{rot}}}}

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}

An important case of combined translation and rotation is rolling motion, such as the motion of the wheel shown in figure. The wheel is symmetrical so its centre of mass is at its geometric centre. The rolling motion of this wheel can be analyzed by taking translational and rotational motion separately.

When centre of mass of a wheel moves translationally  with a speed vcm along with the body in same direction and when it rotates with an angular speed w about its centre, all points on it revolve in different circular paths with the same angular speed w and the points will have linear tangential speed rw if the point is at a distance r from the axis of rotation. If the angular speed of rotation is such that the linear tangential speed of the points on the periphery of the wheel is equal to the translational speed of wheel, then on combining the two motions, the resultant motion is known as pure rolling motion or rolling motion without slipping. This is shown in figure.

In this situation the point on the wheel that contact the surface must be instantaneously at rest so that it does not slip. Hence the velocity rw of the point of contact relative to the centre of mass must have same magnitude but opposite direction as the centre of mass velocity vcm. Thus for pure rolling.

                    Vcm = rω

The above relation is the condition of pure rolling. Figure shows the velocity of a point on the wheel is the vector sum of the velocity of the centre of mass and the velocity of the point relative to the centre of mass. Thus while point O, the point of contact, is instantaneously at rest, point 2 at the top of the wheel is moving forward twice as fast as the centre of mass, and point 1 and 3 at the sides have velocities at 45° to the horizontal moving at speed √2 times the centre of mass.

At any instant we can think of the wheel as rotating about an instantaneous axis of rotation that passes through the point of contact with the ground. The angular velocity w is the same for the axis as for an axis through the centre of mass, an observer at the rim watching the centre of mass spin around him. If we think of motion of rolling wheel in this way, the kinetic energy of the wheel is \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}{{I}_{0}}{{\omega }^{2}} where I0 is the moment of inertia of the wheel about an axis through point O. Using parallel axis theorem I0 = Icm + MR2, where Icm is the moment of inertia of the wheel with respect to an axis through the centre of mass. Thus the kinetic energy in this reference is

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}{{I}_{0}}{{\omega }^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}{{I}_{{cm}}}{{\omega }^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}

or  = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}{{I}_{{cm}}}{{\omega }^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}Mv_{{cm}}^{2} \displaystyle \because {{v}_{{cm}}}=R\omega

It is same as that given by equation \displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}. It shows that while solving problems of rolling motion we can solve using both the methods i.e. one by considering the axis of rotation at the centre or in a reference frame attached to the centre of mass of the rolling body and the same problem can also be solved by taking reference frame attached to the instantaneous axis of rotation.

The ratio of rotational kinetic energy and  translational kinetic energy

\frac{{\text{Rotational kinetic energy}}}{{\text{Translational kinetic energy}}}=\frac{{\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}}}{{\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}}} =\frac{{M{{K}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}}}{{M{{R}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}}}=\frac{{{{K}^{2}}}}{{{{R}^{2}}}}

The ratio of rotation kinetic energy and total energy

\frac{{\text{Rotational kinetic energy}}}{{\text{Total energy}}}=\frac{{\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}}}{{\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}}} =\frac{{M{{K}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}}}{{M{{R}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}+M{{K}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}}}= {\frac{{{{K}^{2}}}}{{{{R}^{2}}+{{K}^{2}}}}}

The ratio of translational kinetic energy and total energy

\frac{{\text{Translational kinetic energy}}}{{\text{Total energy}}}=\frac{{\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}}}{{\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}}} =\frac{{M{{v}^{2}}}}{{M{{v}^{2}}+M{{K}^{2}}\frac{{{{v}^{2}}}}{{{{R}^{2}}}}}}=\frac{1}{{1+\frac{{{{K}^{2}}}}{{{{R}^{2}}}}}}={\frac{{{{R}^{2}}}}{{{{R}^{2}}+{{K}^{2}}}}}

When the pure rolling takes place on a rough surface the static friction acts between the body and the surface. where as in case of rolling with slipping the kinetic friction acts.

Wf = 0

Wf ≠ 0

Acceleration and the frictional force acting on a rigid body of radius of gyration k and radius R rolls (without slipping) down a plane inclined at an angle with horizontal :

When the body is placed on the inclined plane, it tries to slip down and hence a static friction f acts upwards. This friction provides a torque which causes the body to rotate. Let a be the linear acceleration of centre of mass and  be the angular acceleration of the body.

From free body diagram :

for linear motion parallel to the plane apply Fnet = m.a

\displaystyle mg\sin \theta -f=ma———-(i)

for rotation around the axis through centre of mass apply \displaystyle \tau =I\alpha

\displaystyle \Rightarrow fR={{I}_{{cm}}}\alpha —–(ii)        here Icm is moment of inertia about the center of mass and can be written as mk2.

wherek is radius of gyration

note that mg is acting at the center therefore its torque about the center is zero

As there is no slipping, the point of contact of the body with plane  is instantaneously at rest.

hence \displaystyle v=R\omega

and \displaystyle a=R\alpha            ———(iii)

Solving the three equations for a and f :

we get

\displaystyle a=\frac{{g\sin \theta }}{{1+\frac{{{{I}_{{cm}}}^{2}}}{{m{{R}^{2}}}}}}   Or           \displaystyle a=\frac{{g\sin \theta }}{{1+\frac{{{{k}^{2}}}}{{{{R}^{2}}}}}}           and      \displaystyle f=\frac{{mg\sin \theta }}{{1+\frac{{{{R}^{2}}}}{{{{k}^{2}}}}}}

 

Condition for pure rolling (rolling without slipping)

To avoid slipping, the friction must be static in nature, whose maximum value is

\displaystyle f\le {{\mu }_{s}}N

\displaystyle \frac{{g\sin \theta }}{{1+{{R}^{2}}/{{K}^{2}}}}\le {{\mu }_{s}}mg\cos \theta

\displaystyle {{\mu }_{s}}\ge \frac{{\tan \theta }}{{1+\frac{{{{R}^{2}}}}{{{{k}^{2}}}}}}

 

Time taken by the rolling body to reach the bottom of the inclined plane

Using S=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}, we get

l=\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}or t=\sqrt{{\frac{{2l}}{a}}}or                    t=\sqrt{{\frac{{2l\left[ {1+\frac{{{{K}^{2}}}}{{{{R}^{2}}}}} \right]}}{{g\sin \theta }}}}

This is the condition of μsfor rolling without slipping.

Important Points To Remember

1.

For solid sphere, \displaystyle {{I}_{{cm}}}=\frac{2}{5}m{{R}^{2}}, \displaystyle a=\frac{5}{7}g\sin \theta

2.

For hollow sphere, \displaystyle {{I}_{{cm}}}=\frac{2}{3}m{{R}^{2}}, \displaystyle a=\frac{3}{5}g\sin \theta

3.

For disc or solid cylinder, \displaystyle {{I}_{{cm}}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{R}^{2}}, \displaystyle a=\frac{2}{3}g\sin \theta

4.

For ring or hollow cylinder, \displaystyle {{I}_{{cm}}}=m{{R}^{2}}, \displaystyle a=\frac{1}{2}g\sin \theta

Note:   We can see that acceleration is independent of mass and radius of the body but it depends on the geometrical shape of the body and inclination of plane.

A circular disc rolls down an inclined plane with a height ‘h’ from horizontal surface.  Find

(a)      Direction of friction force on disc

(b)      What will be the fraction of the total energy associated with its translational energy?

(c)       Is there any work done by friction force (yes/no)?

Answers

(a)  Upward along inclined surface.

(b)    \displaystyle \frac{{{{E}_{{Translational}}}}}{{{{E}_{{Total}}}}}=\frac{{\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}}}{{\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}}}=\frac{2}{3}.

(c) In case of rolling, there is no slipping so work done by the friction force is zero.

Illustration

A sphere of radius r and mass m is released from rest from the top of an inclined plane from a height h. Find its velocity at the bottom of the plane. If (a) plane is smooth, (b) plane is sufficiently rough

(a)    In the case of switch plane the sphere slides down without rolling and hence applying conservation of energy we get

\displaystyle mgh\,\,=\,\,\frac{1}{2}\,\,m{{v}^{2}}\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,v\,\,=\,\,\sqrt{{2gh}}

(b)    In case of rough plane the sphere rolls down hence applying conservation of energy we get

\displaystyle mgh\,\,=\,\,\frac{1}{2}\,\,m{{v}^{2}}\,\,\,+\,\,\frac{1}{2}\,\,I{{\omega }^{2}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,[Where\,\,I\,\,=\,\,\frac{2}{5}\,\,m{{r}^{2}}]

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,mgh\,\,=\,\frac{1}{2}\,\,m{{v}^{2}}\,\,+\,\,\frac{1}{2}\,\,\,\,\left[ {\frac{2}{5}\,\,m{{r}^{2}}} \right]\,\,\,\,{{\left[ {\frac{v}{r}} \right]}^{2}}

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,mgh\,\,=\,\frac{1}{2}\,\,m{{v}^{2}}\,\,+\,\,\frac{1}{5}\,\,m{{v}^{2}}                   

 

Hence \displaystyle v\,\,=\,\,\sqrt{{\frac{{10}}{7}\,\,gh}}

 

Illustration

A spherical ball is given a translation velocity equal to v0 and pushed along a horizontal surface where the coefficient of friction is μ. Calculate when it begins to roll without slipping.

(i)           Velocity of centre of mass

(ii)          The time taken.

Solution

The point of contact has a forward velocity when the ball starts moving. This causes slipping and hence a kinetic friction equal to µmg acts in backward direction. This frictional force provides a clock-wise torque and hence the angular velocity increases from zero to ω in time t. The same frictional force reduces the linear velocity of centre of mass from v0 to v in time t.

If the ball begins to roll without slipping after time t,

                         v = rω

Using v = u + at for linear motion of centre of mass,

v = v0 – \displaystyle \left( {\frac{{\mu mg}}{m}} \right)\ t

v = v0 – μ gt                                                                    … (i)

Using ωf = ωi + at  andt = Ia for rotation:

w = 0 + \displaystyle \left( {\frac{{\mu mgr}}{I}} \right)\ t                                      … (ii)

We also have v = rω for pure rolling (iii)

t = \displaystyle \left( {\frac{{{{v}_{0}}{{k}^{2}}}}{{{{k}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}}}}} \right)\ \frac{1}{{\mu g}} (where I = mk2)

and  v = \displaystyle \frac{{{{v}_{0}}{{r}^{2}}}}{{{{k}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}}}}

For a solid sphere k2 = 2/5 r2

 time (t) =  \displaystyle \frac{{2{{v}_{0}}}}{{7\mu g}}  and   v = 5/7 v0

Hence after \displaystyle \frac{{2{{v}_{0}}}}{{7\mu g}} seconds, the translational speed of ball reduces to 5/7 v0 and it begins to roll without slipping.

Illustration

A solid cylinder of mass M and radius R rolls down an inclined plane with height h without slipping. Find the speed of its centre of mass when it reaches its bottom.

Solution

From COE, mgh  = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}mv2 + \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}2

mgh  = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}mv2 + \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}. ( \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}mR2) ´ \displaystyle \frac{{{{v}^{2}}}}{{{{R}^{2}}}} = \displaystyle \frac{3}{4}mv2

v = \displaystyle \sqrt{{\frac{{4gh}}{3}}}

Illustration

A solid cylinder of radius 4 cm and mass 250 g rolls down an inclined plane (1 in 10). Find the acceleration and the total energy of the cylinder after 5 sec.

Solution:        Given that:R=4cm= 0.04m, M=250g = 0.25kg

\sin \alpha =\frac{1}{{10}},

The acceleration of a body rolling down an inclined plane is given by a=\frac{{g\sin \alpha }}{{1+\frac{{{{K}^{2}}}}{{{{r}^{2}}}}}}.

But the M.I. of the solid cylinder about its own axis =I=\frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}}=M{{K}^{2}}

Where K = radius of gyration

K=\frac{{{{K}^{2}}}}{{{{R}^{2}}}}=\frac{1}{2}

a=\frac{{g\sin \alpha }}{{1+\frac{1}{2}}} =\frac{2}{3}g\sin \alpha =\frac{2}{3}\times 9.8\times \frac{1}{{10}}\text{m/}{{\text{s}}^{2}}=0.653\ \text{m/}{{\text{s}}^{2}}

Now by 1st equation of motion

v=u+at=0+0.653\times 5\ \text{m/s}=\text{3}\text{.26}\,\text{m/s}

 As the cylinder is rolling, the total K.E. of the cylinder is the sum of both K.E. of translation and rotation.

Total K.E. =\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}} =\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}}.\frac{{{{v}^{2}}}}{{{{R}^{2}}}}        \left( {\because \ \ \ \ \omega =\frac{v}{R}} \right)

=\frac{3}{4}M{{v}^{2}}=\frac{3}{4}\times 0.25\times {{(3.26)}^{2}}\text{J}=\text{2}\text{.0J}

Illustration

A ring, a disc and a sphere all of the same radius and mass roll down an inclined plane the same height h. Which of the three reaches the bottom (i) earliest, (ii) lastest?

Solution:        The acceleration of a body rolling down an inclined plane is given by,       

a=g\sin \alpha \left( {\frac{{M{{R}^{2}}}}{{I+M{{R}^{2}}}}} \right)

For a ring, I=M{{R}^{2}}

a=g\sin \alpha \left( {\frac{{M{{R}^{2}}}}{{M{{R}^{2}}+M{{R}^{2}}}}} \right)=\frac{1}{2}g\sin \alpha =0.5g\sin \alpha

For a disc, I=\frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}}

a=g\sin \alpha \left( {\frac{{M{{R}^{2}}}}{{\frac{1}{2}M{{R}^{2}}+M{{R}^{2}}}}} \right)=\frac{2}{3}g\sin \alpha =0.67g\sin \alpha

For a sphere, I=\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}}

a=g\sin \alpha \left( {\frac{{M{{R}^{2}}}}{{\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}}+M{{R}^{2}}}}} \right)=\frac{5}{7}g\sin \alpha =0.71\ g\sin \alpha .

Illustration

A 10 m long ladder rests against a vertical wall and makes an angle of 60o with the horizontal floor. If it starts to slip, then find the position of its instantaneous axis of rotation.

Solution

Consider the ends A and B of the ladder. Velocity of end A is vertically downward and velocity of end B is along the horizontal floor. As perpendiculars to the velocities meet at point O. Therefore, axis of rotation will pass through this point and will be perpendicular to the plane of ABC.

 Taking C as origin co-ordinates of the point O are 10 cos60°m and 10sin60°m. Hence radius vector of the point O w.r.t. point C is  \displaystyle \vec{R}=5\hat{i}+5\sqrt{3}\hat{j} where  \displaystyle \hat{i} and \displaystyle \hat{j} are the unit vectors along horizontal and vertical.

A sphere of mass m and radius r is released from rest at point A on a track in vertical plane. From A to B track is rough enough to support rolling and form B onwards it is smooth.  Find the maximum height attained by sphere from ground on its journey B onwards.

Solution

From COE

mgH = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}mv_{c}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}.\frac{2}{5}m{{r}^{2}}\frac{{v_{c}^{2}}}{{{{r}^{2}}}}ÞmgH = \displaystyle \frac{7}{{10}}m

From B onward

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}{{I}_{c}}{{\omega }^{2}}+mgh=\frac{1}{2}{{I}_{c}}{{\omega }^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}mv_{c}^{2}

h = \displaystyle \frac{{v_{c}^{2}}}{{2g}}=\frac{{10}}{{14}}H = \displaystyle \frac{{5H}}{7}

Illustration

A  man pushes a cylinder of mass 2m with the help of a plank of mass m as shown in figure. There is no slipping at any contact. The horizontal component of the force applied by the man is F. Find the acceleration of plank and the acceleration of cylinder. The magnitude of force is 2mg.

Solution

Frictional forces are shown in diagram

F – f1 = maP                                         …(1)

 f1 + f2 = 2maC                                      …(2)

(f1 – f2) r = \displaystyle \frac{{m{{r}^{2}}}}{2}\times \alpha                         …(3)

since there is no slipping

aC = ra                                                  …(4)

and        aP = 2aC                                 …(5)

by solving the above equations and putting F = 2mg

we get  aC = \displaystyle \frac{8}{{13}}g = \displaystyle \frac{{80}}{{13}} m/sec2

aP = \displaystyle \frac{{16}}{{13}}g = \displaystyle \frac{{160}}{{13}}m/sec2

Illustration

A uniform solid cylinder of radius R = 15cm rolls over a horizontal plane passing into an inclined plane forming an angle a = 30° with the horizontal. Find the maximum value of the velocity v0 which still permits the cylinder to roll onto the inclined plane section without a jump. (The sliding is assumed to be absent).

Solution

Initial energy

\displaystyle {{E}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}{{I}_{{c.m.}}}{{\omega }^{2}}+mgR      

For rolling, \displaystyle \frac{{{{v}_{0}}}}{R}=\omega

\displaystyle {{E}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{2}m{{R}^{2}}\frac{{v_{0}^{2}}}{{{{R}^{2}}}}+mgR=\frac{3}{4}mv_{0}^{2}+mgR

As it reaches the edge

\displaystyle {{E}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}{{I}_{P}}{{\omega }^{2}}+mgR\cos \alpha

\displaystyle {{E}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2}{{I}_{{c.m.}}}{{{\omega }’}^{2}}+mgR\cos \alpha =\frac{3}{4}m{{v}^{2}}+mgR\cos \alpha

From COE, \displaystyle \frac{3}{4}m{{v}^{2}}+mgR\cos \alpha =\frac{3}{4}mv_{0}^{2}+mgR

  \displaystyle m{{v}^{2}}=mv_{0}^{2}+\frac{4}{3}mgR(1-\cos \alpha )      … (1)

Consider the F.B.D. of the cylinder when it is at edge. Centre of mass of the cylinder describes circular motion about P.

Hence, mg cosa – N = mv2 / R

 N = mg cosa – mv2 / R

= \displaystyle mg\cos \alpha -\frac{{mv_{0}^{2}}}{R}-\frac{4}{3}mg+\frac{4}{3}mg\cos \alpha ,  from (1)

For no jumping, N ³ 0

\displaystyle \frac{7}{3}mg\cos \alpha -\frac{4}{3}mg-\frac{{mv_{0}^{2}}}{R}\ge 0

\displaystyle {{v}_{0}}\le \sqrt{{\frac{{7gR}}{3}\cos \alpha -\frac{4}{3}gR}}.

vB = wr + vcm = vcm \displaystyle \left( {1+\frac{r}{R}} \right)                              … (ii)

\displaystyle \frac{{{{I}_{{cm}}}}}{I}=\frac{{{{v}_{{cm}}}}}{v}=\left( {1+\frac{r}{R}} \right)  IB = Icm. \displaystyle \left( {1+\frac{r}{R}} \right)

(b)       and also the normal force exerted by the small sphere on the hemisphere when it is at the bottom of the hemisphere.

Solution

Ktrans = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}

Krot  = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}=\frac{1}{5}m{{v}^{2}}

K =  Ktrans + Krot  = \displaystyle \frac{7}{{10}}m{{v}^{2}}

\displaystyle \frac{{{{K}_{{trans}}}}}{K}=\frac{5}{7}

\displaystyle \frac{{{{K}_{{rot}}}}}{K}=\frac{2}{7}

mg(R – r) = \displaystyle \frac{7}{{10}}mv2

\displaystyle \left( {\frac{{m{{v}^{2}}}}{{R-r}}} \right)=\frac{{10}}{7}mg

N = mg + \displaystyle \left( {\frac{{m{{v}^{2}}}}{{\left( {R-r} \right)}}} \right)=\frac{{17}}{7}mg

v1 = \displaystyle \sqrt{{2gh}} = v(say)

\displaystyle v_{2}^{2}=\sqrt{{2gh/2}} 

v2 = \displaystyle \sqrt{{gh}} = v/√2

\displaystyle \int{{Ndt}}=m\left( {\frac{v}{{\sqrt{2}}}+v} \right)                                                        . . . (i)

Where N = impact force on the ball during collision.

\displaystyle \int{{fRdt}}= Ic.m.(-w’ + w)

\displaystyle \int{{\mu NRdt}}=Ic.m.(w – w’)                    . . . (ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

mR. \displaystyle \frac{1}{{\sqrt{2}}}mv (1 + \sqrt{2}) = \frac{2}{5}mR2(w -w’)

w’ = w – \displaystyle \frac{{5\mu }}{{2R}}(1+\sqrt{2})\sqrt{{gh}}.

You are given two spheres of the same mass and size and appearance, but one of them is hollow and the other is solid. How will you find which is hollow and which is solid.

Solution:       

If K1 and K2 be the radii of gyration of the solid and hollow spheres respectively. Then

 M.I. of solid sphere =\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}}=MK_{1}^{2}

 or    K_{1}^{2}=\frac{2}{5}{{R}^{2}} and M.I. of hollow sphere  =\frac{2}{5}M\frac{{{{R}^{5}}-{{r}^{5}}}}{{{{R}^{3}}-{{r}^{3}}}}=MK_{2}^{2}

 or    K_{2}^{2}=\frac{2}{5}\frac{{{{R}^{5}}-{{r}^{5}}}}{{{{R}^{3}}-{{r}^{3}}}}=\frac{2}{5}{{R}^{2}}\frac{{\left( {1-\frac{{{{r}^{5}}}}{{{{R}^{5}}}}} \right)}}{{\left( {1-\frac{{{{r}^{3}}}}{{{{R}^{3}}}}} \right)}}

where r and R are the inner and outer radii of the hollow sphere. Clearly r<R.

\frac{{{{r}^{5}}}}{{{{R}^{5}}}}<\frac{{{{r}^{3}}}}{{{{R}^{3}}}}

or    \displaystyle 1-\frac{{{{r}^{5}}}}{{{{R}^{5}}}}>1-\frac{{{{r}^{3}}}}{{{{R}^{3}}}}         

or,   \frac{{\left( {1-\frac{{{{r}^{5}}}}{{{{R}^{5}}}}} \right)}}{{\left( {1-\frac{{{{r}^{3}}}}{{{{R}^{3}}}}} \right)}}>1

or    \frac{2}{5}{{R}^{2}}\frac{{\left( {1-\frac{{{{r}^{5}}}}{{{{R}^{5}}}}} \right)}}{{\left( {1-\frac{{{{r}^{3}}}}{{{{R}^{3}}}}} \right)}}>\frac{2}{5}{{R}^{2}}

or,   K_{2}^{2}>k_{1}^{2} (using above relations)

or    {{K}_{2}}>{{K}_{1}}

i.e., the radius of gyration of the hollow sphere is greater than that of solid sphere. The acceleration of a body rolling down an inclined plane is given by, a=\frac{{g\sin \alpha }}{{1+\frac{{{{K}^{2}}}}{{{{r}^{2}}}}}}

Clearly if K is greater, the acceleration will be smaller. Hence the acceleration of the hollow sphere should be lesser than that of the solid sphere if allowed to roll at the same time i.e., the solid sphere will sooner come down the plane and hence both can be distinguished.

(3) \displaystyle 2g\sin \theta

(4) 4g\sin \theta

 Solution:         

Net force on the cylinder acting parallel to the inclined plane.

For the motion of cylinder, ma\prime =mg\sin \theta -{{f}_{r}}

The centre of mass of cylinder is stationary. a\prime =\frac{{{{d}^{2}}x}}{{d{{t}^{2}}}}=0

{{f}_{r}}=mg\sin \theta

Torque due to frictional force ={{f}_{r}}R=\frac{{m{{R}^{2}}}}{2}\alpha

{{f}_{r}}=\frac{{mR\alpha }}{2}=\frac{{ma}}{2}                  

\frac{{ma}}{2}=mg\sin \theta

a=2g\sin \theta

Comprehension Based Question (2 to 4)

When a sphere rolls on a rough horizontal surface under the action of a constant horizontal force F acting on the center of the sphere;  it acquires acceleration a (of center of mass) and angular acceleration a (about center of mass). These value can be obtained by applying Newton’s second law in both translational and rotational form. The free body diagram of the sphere will look like:

Here f is the force of friction and R be the radius of sphere.

∑F = ma           =      F – f = ma

=        ∑t = Ia Þ        f. R = I a

and      a = aR (condition of rolling)

After solving these three equations we get,

a=\frac{F}{{m\left( {1+\frac{I}{{m{{R}^{2}}}}} \right)}}

f=\frac{F}{{1+\frac{{m{{R}^{2}}}}{I}}}

Now since the nature of friction is static in case of rolling motion; coefficient of friction between ground and sphere should be able to provide the required value of static friction.

i.e.       \mu N\ge \frac{F}{{1+\frac{{m{{R}^{2}}}}{I}}}

If the above criterion is satisfied the sphere will do rolling motion and the work done by friction force will be zero since point of contact is instantaneously at rest.

Now consider a situation when  \mu N\not{\ge }\frac{F}{{1+\frac{{m{{R}^{2}}}}{I}}}. Then coefficient of friction is not sufficient to provide the necessary value of static friction and so the friction force will essentially be kinetic in nature. It implies that point of contact will have relative motion with respect to ground i.e. it will slip.

In the case of slipping; the work done by friction would not be zero. It can be found out by multiplying the force of friction by displacement of point of contact. For finding out the displacement of point of contact, the following procedure has to be applied.

In the above figure, the instantaneous velocity of point of contact is

V-\omega r

So displacement of point of contact in time dt is

\left( {V-\omega r} \right)dt=\left( {\frac{{dx}}{{dt}}-\frac{{d\theta }}{{dt}}.r} \right)dt=dx-rd\theta

\  Total displacement = \int{{\left( {dx-rd\theta } \right)}}=x-\theta r

where x is the displacement of center of mass and q is the angular displacement about center of mass and r is the radius of sphere. 

Now consider the following situation and answer the questions based on above discussions. Consider each of the questions independently i.e. you can not use the data of one question into another one unless asked to do so.

On an inclined plane of inclination a and length L a solid sphere of mass m and radius R is released from the top. The coefficient of friction is m between the incline and the sphere.
