A uniform spherical shell rolls down a fixed inclined pla ne without sliping. Find the ratio of | rotational kinetic energy to translational kinetic energy as it reaches lowest point of the incline.

Answer»

Solution :As there is no slip,
`v=Romega` is valid and rotational KINETIC energy
`K_(R)=(1)/(2)I_(CM)omega^(2)=(1)/(2)mk^(2)omega^(2)`
and translational kinetic energy
`K_(T)=(1)/(2)MV^(2)=(1)/(2)mR^(2)omega^(2)` therefore `(K_(R))/(K_(T))=(K^(2))/(R^(2))=(2)/(3)`
