Consider a situation in which a ring,a solid cylinder,and a solid sphere roll down on the same inclined plane without slipping. Assume that they start rolling from rest and have identical diameters. The correct statement for this situation is:

  • A
    The sphere has the greatest and the ring has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.
  • B
    The ring has the greatest and the cylinder has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.
  • C
    All of them will have the same velocity.
  • D
    The cylinder has the greatest and the sphere has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.

$A$ solid cylinder of mass $m$ is wrapped with an inextensible light string and is placed on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. The frictional force acting between the cylinder and the inclined plane is: [The coefficient of static friction,$\mu_{s}$,is $0.4$]

$Assertion$ : The velocity of a body at the bottom of an inclined plane of given height is more when it slides down the plane,compared to when it rolls down the same plane.
$Reason$ : In rolling down,a body acquires both kinetic energy of translation and rotation.

Two solid cylinders $P$ and $Q$ of same mass and same radius start rolling down a fixed inclined plane from the same height at the same time. Cylinder $P$ has most of its mass concentrated near its surface,while $Q$ has most of its mass concentrated near the axis. Which statement$(s)$ is (are) correct?
