The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the maximum height of a solid cylinder on an inclined plane without toppling, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: - We have a solid cylinder of radius \( r \) placed on an inclined plane that makes an angle of \( 53^\circ \) with the horizontal. - The cylinder will not slide, and we need to determine the maximum height \( h \) for it not to topple. 2. **Identifying the Angle**: - The angle of the inclined plane is \( 53^\circ \). - The complementary angle (the angle between the vertical and the inclined plane) is \( 90^\circ - 53^\circ = 37^\circ \). 3. **Setting Up the Right Triangle**: - When the cylinder is about to topple, the center of mass will be vertically above the edge of the base in contact with the inclined plane. - We can visualize a right triangle where: - The height from the base of the cylinder to the center of mass is \( \frac{h}{2} \). - The horizontal distance from the edge of the base to the vertical line through the center of mass is \( r \) (the radius of the cylinder). 4. **Using Trigonometry**: - In the right triangle formed, we can use the tangent of the angle \( 37^\circ \): \[ \tan(37^\circ) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{\frac{h}{2}}{r} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ h = 2r \tan(37^\circ) \] 5. **Calculating \( \tan(37^\circ) \)**: - The value of \( \tan(37^\circ) \) is approximately \( \frac{3}{4} \) or \( 0.75 \). 6. **Substituting Values**: - Now substituting \( r = 2 \, m \) (as given in the problem): \[ h = 2 \times 2 \times \tan(37^\circ) = 2 \times 2 \times \frac{3}{4} \] - Simplifying this: \[ h = 4 \times \frac{3}{4} = 3 \, m \] 7. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the maximum height \( h \) of the cylinder for it not to topple is \( 3 \, m \). ### Summary: The maximum height of the cylinder for it not to topple is \( 3 \, m \).
