Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
A uniform cylinder rolls down from rest, on a track whose vertical cross-section is a parabola given by the equation y=kx2. If the surface is rough from A to B due to which the cylinder doesn't slip but it is frictionless from B to C, then the height of ascent of cylinder towards C is

The correct answer is: 2y13

Applying work-energy theorem

Work done by gravity = Change in Kinetic Energy

For part AB, ( friction will provide torque to generate rotational kinetic energy but work done by friction will be zero because the velocity of the point of action of friction is zero)

mgy1=34mv2

For part BC, (there is no friction, hence no change in rotational kinetic energy)

mgy2=12mv2

Dividing both equations we get
y2=23y1
