Solution
The correct option is A Converts transnational energy to rotational energy
According to question
mg∗sinA−f=ma--------------(1)
in pure rolling α=ar where α = angular acceleration
Now
net, τ=Iα where I = moment of inertia
f∗r=Iα
f∗r=Ia/r
therefore
f=Ia/r2. -------------------(2)
putting value of f in (1)
mgsinA−Ia/r2=ma
here I of solid cylinder = mr2/2
mgsinA−ma/2=ma
a=(2gsinA)/3
Now
f=Ia/r2 from (2)
f=ma/2 which should be less than or equal to μN otherwise body will slip (where u is coefficient of friction and N is normal acting on cylinder which is equal to mg cos A)
