Physics

A uniform cylinder of radius R and mass M ismounted so as to rotate freely about a horizontal axis that isparallel to, and a distance h from the centrallongitudinal axis of the cylinder. (a) What is therotational inertia of the cylinder about the axis of rotation?(b) If the cylinder is released from rest with itscentral longitudinal axis at the same height as the axis aboutwhich the cylinder rotates, what is the angular speed of thecylinder as it passes through its lowest position? State youranswers in terms of the given variables, using g whenappropriate.
