Physics

You are investigating two mysterious objects with massM = 0.7 kg and diameter R = 0.2 m, which arerolling down a slope without slipping. The slope makes an angle θ =30 ° with the horizontal. The acceleration of gravity for an objectin free fall is 9.8 m/s2.

(a) Draw a force diagram, showing all the forces on theobject.

(b) You are measuring the time it takes the objects, from restand without slipping, to roll down the L = 1.00 m longslope, as measured along the slope. Show that the arrival time atthe bottom for an object with moment of inertia I =cMR2 is

t = 2 ( 1 + c ) L g sin ⁡ θ
