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 having identical diameter.

Option 1 - <p>The ring has the greatest and the cylinder has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.</p>
Option 2 - <p>The sphere has the greatest and the ring has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.</p>
Option 3 - <p>The cylinder has the greatest and the sphere has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.</p>
Option 4 - <p>Al of them will have same velocity.</p>

Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:

Using conservation of energy:

m g h = 1 2 l c m ω 2 + 1 2 m v 2 = 1 2 l c m V 2 r 2 + 1 2 m v 2

v 2 = m g h 1 2 l c m r 2 + m v 2

So, sphere has the greatest velocity of COM and ring has least.
