MCQ
A roller is mad e by joining  together two cones at their vertices $O$. It is kept on two rails $AB$ and $CD$, which are placed asymmetrically (see figure) , with its axis perpendicular to $CD  $ and its centre $O$ at the centre ofline joining $AB$ and $CD$ (see figure) . It is given a light push so that it $A$ starts rolling with its centre $O$ moving parallel to $CD$ in the direction shown. As it moves, the roller will tend to
  • A
    go straight
  • B
    tum left and right alternately
  • turn left
  • D
    turn right

Answer

Correct option: C.
turn left
c
As shown in the diagram, the normal reaction of $AB$ on roller will shift towards $O$. 

This will lead to tending of the system of cones to trun left.
