$A$ solid cylinder is placed on a rough surface of inclination $\theta$. The minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the cylinder and the surface so that the cylinder rolls without slipping is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{3} \tan \theta$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3} \sin \theta$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{3} \tan \theta$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3} \sin \theta$

$A$ ring,a solid sphere,a disc,and a solid cylinder of the same radii roll down an inclined plane. Which one would reach the bottom last?

$A$ ring,a solid sphere,and a disc are rolled down an inclined plane from the same height. The order in which they reach the bottom is:

Three bodies: a ring $(R)$,a solid cylinder $(C)$,and a solid sphere $(S)$ having the same mass and same radius roll down an inclined plane without slipping. They start from rest. If $v_{R}$,$v_{C}$,and $v_{S}$ are the velocities of the respective bodies on reaching the bottom of the plane,then:

$A$ 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 $0.4$]

Three bodies, a ring, a solid disc, and a solid sphere, roll down the same inclined plane without slipping. The radii of the bodies are identical, and they start from rest. If $V_S, V_R$, and $V_D$ are the speeds of the sphere, ring, and disc, respectively, when they reach the bottom, then the correct option is:
