  1. A small object of uniform density rolls up a curved surface with an initial velocity ‘ν’. It reaches upto a maximum height of 3v²/4g with respect to the initial position. The object is a
    1. solid sphere
    2. hollow sphere
    3. disc
    4. ring
Correct Option: C


From law of conservation of mechanical energy

1
Iω² + 0 +
1
mv² = mg ×
3v²
224g

1
Iω² =
3
mv² -
1
mv²
242

=
mv²
3
- 1
22

or,
1
I
=
mv²
or, I =
1
mR²
242

Hence, object is a disc.
