Uniform solid sphere rolling on inclined plane

Click For Summary
A uniform solid sphere rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface and encounters a rough inclined plane at a 60-degree angle. The problem involves determining the new angular velocity as the sphere begins to roll up the incline. The solution approach focuses on conserving angular momentum about the point of contact with the incline. It is noted that the sphere must sacrifice some rotational energy to gain velocity in a new direction. The discussion emphasizes the relationship between momentum and kinetic energy to resolve the problem effectively.

Homework Statement



A uniform solid sphere,rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface with an angular velocity \omega,meets a rough inclined plane of incination 60(degrees).The sphere starts pure rolling up the plane with an angular velocity.Find the new angular velocity .

Homework Equations



Angular momentum conservation about point of contact with the incline.

That means that the sphere has to give up some of its rotational energy to acquire a velocity in a direction it hadn't before.
Find a relationship between momentum and kinetic energy and then resolve.
 
Thread 'Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension'
The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why. Based on formula of Young Modulus: $$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$ The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A## I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
