Assuming potential energy 'U' at ground ...

Assuming potential energy 'U' at ground level to be zero.

All objects are made up of same material :-
`{:(U_(P) = "Potential energy of solid sphere",U_(Q) = "Potential energy of solid cube",),(U_(R ) = "Potential energy of solid cone",U_(S) = "Potential energy of solid cylinder",):}`

A

`U_(S) gt U_(P)`

B

`U_(Q) gt U_(S)`

C

`U_(P) gt U_(Q)`

D

`U_(P) gt U_(S)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B

In `P, Q` and `S`, the centre of masses lie at `D//2` height from the base level. Where as in `R`(cons) the com lieas at `D//4` height from the base.
Hence `U_(P) gt U_(Q)`.
