Prove that the velocity $v$ of translation of a rolling body (like a ring,disc,cylinder,or sphere) at the bottom of an inclined plane of height $h$ is given by $v^{2} = \frac{2gh}{1 + k^{2}/R^{2}}$ using dynamical considerations (i.e.,by considering forces and torques). Note: $k$ is the radius of gyration of the body about its symmetry axis,and $R$ is the radius of the body. The body starts from rest at the top of the plane.

$A$ 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

$A$ solid sphere of mass $2M$ and a thin hollow spherical shell of mass $M$ of the same radius roll down an inclined plane simultaneously. Then,

An object of uniform density rolls up a curved path with an initial velocity $v_0$ as shown in the figure. If the maximum height attained by the object is $\frac{7v_0^2}{10g}$ ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity),the object is a . . . . . . .

$A$ ring and a disc are initially at rest, side by side, at the top of an inclined plane which makes an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. They start to roll without slipping at the same instant of time along the shortest path. If the time difference between their reaching the ground is $(2-\sqrt{3}) / \sqrt{10} \,s$, then the height of the top of the inclined plane, in metres, is. . . . . . Take $g=10 \,m \,s^{-2}$.
