Q. A string is wrapped over a uniform cylinder, as shown in diagram (side view). When cylinder is released, string unwraps without any slipping and cylinder comes down. Which of the following is true ?

System of Particles and Rotational Motion Report Error

A

Work done by Tension force on the cylinder is zero

B

Work done by the Tension is negative

C

Ratio of rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy is

D

Ratio of rotational kinetic energy to translational kinetic energy is 2

Solution:

When cylinder comes down, at the point where string leaves contact with the cylinder is point of instantaneous rest, thus string does zero work.
