6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
medium

A uniform ring of radius $R$ is moving on a horizontal surface with speed $v$, then climbs up a ramp of inclination $30^{\circ}$ to a height $h$. There is no slipping in the entire motion. Then, $h$ is

A

$v^{2} / 2 g$

B

$v^{2} / g$

C

$3 v^{2} / 2 g$

D

$2 v^{2} / g$

(KVPY-2016)

Solution

$(b)$  As ring is rolling without any slippage, Total initial kinetic energy $=$ Total final potential energy at height $h$

$\Rightarrow$ Kinctic energy of translation $+$ Kinctic energy of rotation = Potential energy of ring at height $h$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}+\frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2}=m g h$

For ring, $I=m R^{2}$ and $v=R \omega$

$\therefore \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}+\frac{1}{2} m R^{2} \times \frac{v^{2}}{R^{2}} =m g h$

$\Rightarrow m v^{2} =m g h$

$\Rightarrow h =\frac{v^{2}}{g}$
