A solid sphere rolls down on two different inclined planes of same height, but of different inclinations. In both cases
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
I n pure rolling, mechannical energy remains conserved. Therefore, when heights of inclines are equal, speed of sphere will be same in both the cases. But as acceleration down the plane, a ∝ sin θ therefore, acceleration and time of descent will be different.
