Q1.

A solid cylinder having radius $R$ and length $L$ is slipping on a rough horizontal plane. At time $t=0$ the cylinder has a translational velocity $v_0=49$ m/s, perpendicular to its axis and a rotational velocity $v_0/4R$ about the centre.

Q2.

A solid sphere ($A$) of mass $5m$ and a spherical shell ($B$) of mass $m$, both having same radius, are placed on a rough surface. When a force of same magnitude is applied tangentially at the highest points of $A$ and $B$, they start rolling without slipping with an acceleration of $a_A$ and $a_B$, respectively. The ratio of $a_A$ and $a_B$ is __________.

(A)
$5 : 21$
(B)
$6 : 10$
(C)
$21 : 25$
(D)
$1 : 5$
