A ring is rolling on an inclined plane. The ratio of the linear and rotational kinetic energies will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The ring has a moment of inertia of 
about its centroidal axis. Its linear kinetic energy is 
and its rotational kinetic energy is 
. Thus the ratio we get is
