A 4.50 kg solid cylinder with radius 10.0 cm is allowed to roll down a uniform slope that has been inclined at 22°. The cylinder is stationary at the top and the length of the incline is 5.50 meters.
1. What percentage of the total KE is rotational KE at the bottom of the ramp?
2. What is the angular acceleration of the cylinder as it rolls down the ramp?
3. Find the velocity of the cylinder at the bottom of the ramp.
4. What is the net torque applied to the rolling cylinder during its motion down the ramp?
