Question: A uniform object with rotational inertia I = amR2 rolls without slipping down an incline of height H and inclination angle . With what speed

A uniform object with rotational inertia I = amR2 rolls without slipping down an incline of height H and inclination angle θ. With what speed does the object reach the bottom of the incline? What is the speed for a hollow cylinder (I = mR2) and a solid cylinder (I = 1/2MR2)? Compare to the result obtained when an object is simply dropped from a height H.
