Radius of the hoop, r = 2m Mass of the hoop, m = 100kg Velocity of the hoop, v = 20cm/s = 0.2m/s Total energy of the hoop = Translational KE + Rotational KE $\text{E}_{\text{r}}=\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\text{I}\omega^2$ Moment of inertia of the hoop about its centre, $I = mr^2 \text{E}_{\text{r}}=\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\text{mr}^2\omega^2$ But we have the relation, $\text{v}=\text{r}\omega$
$\therefore\ \text{E}_{\text{r}}=\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\text{mr}^2\omega^2$
$\therefore\ \text{E}_{\text{r}}=\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^2$
$\therefore\ \text{E}_{\text{r}}=\text{mv}^2$ The work required to be done for stopping the hoop is equal to the total energy of the hoop. $\therefore$ Required work to be done, $W = mv^2 = 100 \times (0.2)^2 = 4J$

    b. $\text{h}=\text{R}$ ii. Sphere spins clockwise, loses energy by friction.
    c. $\text{h}=\frac{3\text{R}}{2}$ iii. Sphere spins anti-clockwise, loses energy by friction.
    d. $\text{h}=\frac{7\text{R}}{5}$ iv. Sphere has only a translational motion, looses energy by friction.

    Prove the result that the velocity v of translation of a rolling body (like a ring, disc, cylinder or sphere) at the bottom of an inclined plane of a height h is given by $\text{v}^2=\frac{2\text{gh}}{\Big(\frac{1+\text{k}^2}{\text{R}^2}\Big)}$ using dynamical consideration (i.e. by consideration of forces and torques).
    Note: k is the radius of gyration of the body about its symmetry axis, and R is the radius of the body. The body starts from rest at the top of the plane.
