Question

A uniform solid cylinder of mass 2kg and radius 0.2m is released from the rest at the top of a semicircular track of radius 0.7m cut in block of mass M=3kg as shown. The block is resting on a smooth horizontal surface and the cylinder rolls down without slipping. The distance moved by the block when the cylinder reaches the bottom of the track is:

Solution

The correct option is D 0.2 m
As there is no external force on the system in horizontal direction $X_{cm} will not change.
Xcm=MixiMi
initial Xcm=3(0.7)+2(0.2)3+2=0.5 equation 1
Let the distane moved by block be x
Xcm=3(0.7x)+2(0.7x)3+2
using equation 1
3(0.7x)+2(0.7x)5=0.5
x=0.2m
