MCQ
A drum of radius $R$ and mass $M$, rolls down without slipping along an inclined plane of angle $\theta $. The frictional force
  • A
    Decreases the rotational and translational motion
  • B
    Dissipates energy as heat
  • C
    Decreases the rotational motion
  • Converts translational energy to rotational energy

Answer

Correct option: D.
Converts translational energy to rotational energy
d
When a body rolls down without slipping along an inclined plane of inclination $\theta,$ it rotates about a horizontal axis through its centre of mass and also its centre of mass moves. Therefore, rolling motion may be regarded as a rotational motion about an axis through its centre of mass plus a translational motion of the centre of mass. As it rolls down, it suffers loss in gravitational potential energy provided translational energy due to frictional force is converted into rotational energy.
