A carpet of mass ' M ' made of a material is rolled along its length in the form of a cylinder of radius ' R ' and kept above the rough floor. If the carpet is unrolled without sliding to a radius ' R / 2 '. The change in potential energy is ( g = acceleration due to gravity)
Options
- AMgR
- B7 8 MgR
- C5 7 MgR
- D3 4 MgR
Correct answer
B. 7 8 MgR
Step-by-step solution
Density ( =M / V ) of carpet remains the same after it is unrolled, ₁= ₂ If M ₂ and V ₂ are mass and volume respectively of unrolled carpet, aligned & M ~V = M ₂ ~V ₂ & M ₂= M R ^2 l R ₂ l= M R ^2 l ( R ^2 4 ) l aligned M ₂= M 4 ...(i) Potential energy of rolled carpet, U ₁= MgR Potential energy of unrolled carpet, U ₂= M ₂ gR ₂= ( M 4 ) g ( R 2 )...[From(i)] Change in potential energy, aligned & U=U₁-U₂ & U=M g R- ( M 4 ) g ( R 2 ) & U= 7 8 M g R aligned
