(N/A) Consider a body of mass $m$,moment of inertia about its geometric axis $I$,radius of gyration $k$,and geometric radius $R$ rolling down an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ and height $h$ without slipping.
Since the body is rolling without slipping,its center of mass moves with linear velocity $v_{cm}$ and the body rotates about its axis with angular velocity $\omega$. The motion of the body is a combination of translation and rotation.
The total kinetic energy $K$ of the body is given by:
$K = K_{\text{translational}} + K_{\text{rotational}}$
$K = \frac{1}{2} m v_{cm}^{2} + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2}$
Given $I = m k^{2}$ and the condition for rolling without slipping $v_{cm} = R \omega$,we have $\omega = \frac{v_{cm}}{R}$.
Substituting these into the kinetic energy equation:
$K = \frac{1}{2} m v_{cm}^{2} + \frac{1}{2} (m k^{2}) \left( \frac{v_{cm}}{R} \right)^{2}$
$K = \frac{1}{2} m v_{cm}^{2} \left( 1 + \frac{k^{2}}{R^{2}} \right)$
This is the formula for the total kinetic energy of a rolling body.
To find the velocity at the bottom,we use the law of conservation of energy. The potential energy at the top is converted into the total kinetic energy at the bottom:
$m g h = K$
$m g h = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \left( 1 + \frac{k^{2}}{R^{2}} \right)$
Solving for $v$:
$v^{2} = \frac{2 g h}{1 + \frac{k^{2}}{R^{2}}}$
$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 g h}{1 + \frac{k^{2}}{R^{2}}}}$

$A$ solid sphere is rolling without slipping on a semi-circular track of radius $R = 10 \ m$ as shown in the figure. The radius of the solid sphere is much smaller than the radius of the semi-circular track. At the lowest point, it has a velocity $v = 10 \ m/s$. To what maximum angle $\theta$ from the vertical will the sphere travel before it comes back down? Neglect the rolling friction between the sphere and the track. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

The following bodies are made to roll up (without slipping) the same inclined plane from a horizontal place: $(i)$ a ring of radius $R$,$(ii)$ a solid cylinder of radius $\frac{R}{2}$,and $(iii)$ a solid sphere of radius $\frac{R}{4}$. If,in each case,the speed of the center of mass at the bottom of the incline is the same,the ratio of the maximum heights they climb is:
