Answer:
SOLUTION ONLY!
Explanation:
Calculate the angular velocity of the cylinder when it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane.
Take H = 7 m, M = 0.25 kg, R = 0.5 m, and q = 30°. Do NOT use Newton's laws of motion.
Conservation of energy yields KE(translation)+ KE (rotation) = PE e(it top of inclined plane)

Icylinder w2 = M g H
Using the connection between angular velocity w and translational velocity V=wR or w = V/R is used together with the
moment of ineretial of a cylinder Icylinder=(1/2)MR2 yields

V2 = g H and finally V = 4

Substitution of the numbers for g=9.8 m/s2 and H=7m yields for the linear velocity V= 9.6 m/s .
V = 4

9.56382
and for the angular velocity w=4.8 Rad/sec.
w = 9.6 ê 0.5
