Two identical uniform discs roll without slipping on two different surfaces $AB$ and $CD$ (see figure) starting at $A$ and $C$ with linear speeds $v_1$ and $v_2$,respectively,and always remain in contact with the surfaces. If they reach $B$ and $D$ with the same linear speed and $v_1 = 3 \ m/s$,then $v_2$ in $m/s$ is $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.

$A$ tennis ball (treated as a hollow spherical shell) starting from $O$ rolls down a hill. At point $A$,the ball becomes airborne,leaving at an angle of $30^\circ$ with the horizontal. The ball strikes the ground at $B$. What is the value of the distance $AB$ (in $m$)? (Moment of inertia of a spherical shell of mass $m$ and radius $R$ about its diameter is $I = \frac{2}{3}mR^2$).

$A$ solid cylinder $P$ rolls without slipping from rest down an inclined plane,attaining a speed $v_p$ at the bottom. Another smooth solid cylinder $Q$ of the same mass and dimensions slides without friction from rest down the inclined plane,attaining a speed $v_q$ at the bottom. The ratio of the speeds $\frac{v_q}{v_p}$ is
