The cylinder rolls

A spinning cylinder with angular velocity ω o \omega_{o} of Mass M M and radius R R is lowered on a rough fixed wedge of angle 3 0 o 30^{o} with the horizontal and coefficient of friction μ = 1 3 \mu=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} . The cylinder is released at a height of 3 R 3R from horizontal. Find the total time taken by the cylinder to reach the bottom of the incline in s e c o n d s seconds

Take R = 3.6 m R=3.6~m , g = 10 m / s 2 g=10~m/s^{2} and ω o = 17 r a d / s \omega_{o}=17~rad/s


The answer is 9.72.

Accleleration due to kinetic friction a f = f M = μ g sin θ = g 3 2 3 = g 2 a_f=\dfrac{f}{M} = \mu g\sin\theta = \dfrac{g\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{g}{2} and g sin θ = g 2 g\sin\theta = \dfrac{g}{2} . So, the cylinder will roll until it stops and then start pure rolling.

α = a f R I = g R t 1 = ω 0 R g \begin{aligned}\alpha &= \dfrac{a_fR}{I}\\&=\dfrac{g}{R}\\\Rightarrow t_1 &= \dfrac{\omega_0R}{g}\end{aligned}

Now, after this, it will start pure rolling with v 0 = ω 0 = 0 v_0 = \omega_0 = 0

Let a f a_f be the acceleration due to static friction from this stage. a n e t = R α = a f R 2 I = 2 a f Now, g sin θ a f = 2 a f a = 2 3 g sin θ = 1 3 g t 2 = 2 s a n e t = 2 × 3 R 3 g sin θ = 6 R g \begin{aligned}\Rightarrow a_{net} = R\alpha &= \dfrac{a_fR^2}{I}\\&= 2a_f\\ \text{Now, } g\sin\theta - a_f &= 2a_f\\\Rightarrow a&= \frac{2}{3}g\sin\theta \\&=\frac{1}{3}g\\\Rightarrow t_2 &= \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{a_{net}}}\\&=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times3R\cdot3}{g\sin\theta}}\\&=6\sqrt{\dfrac{R}{g}} \end{aligned}

t = t 1 + t 2 = w 0 R g + 6 R g \Large \therefore t = t_1 + t_2 =\boxed{ \dfrac{w_0R}{g}+6\sqrt{\dfrac{R}{g}}}

BTW:This question is there in Cengage Textbook

U also need to mention that the value of static friction reqd for pure Rolling is less than the maximum value , and hence pure rolling is possible
