$A$ solid cylinder is rolling down on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$. The coefficient of static friction between the plane and the cylinder is $\mu_s$. The condition for the cylinder not to slip is

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.
