Question: A thin cylindrical ring starts from rest at a height h 1 = 8 7 m . The ring has a radius R = 3

A thin cylindrical ring starts from rest at a height h1=87 m. The ring has a radius R =38 cm and a mass M =5 kg.
Part (a)
Write an expression for the ring's initial energy at point 1, assuming that the gravitational potential energy at point 3 is zero.
Part (b)
If the ring rolls (without slipping) all the way to point 2, what is the ring's energy at point 2 in terms of h2 and v2?
Part (c)
Given h2=14 m, what is the velocity of the ring at point 2 in m/s?
Part (d)
What is the ring's rotational velocity in rad/s at point 2?
Part (e)
After passing point 2 the hill becomes frictionless and the ring's rotational velocity remains constant. What is the linear velocity of the ring at point 3 in m/s?
