Q7.21 A solid cylinder rolls up an inclined plane of angle of inclination . At the bottom
of the inclined plane the centre of mass of the cylinder has a speed of .
b) How long will it take to return to the bottom?
The velocity of cylinder is given by :
or
We know that for cylinder :
Thus
Required time is :
or
Hence required time is 0.764(2) = 1.53 s.
