7.21 A solid cylinder rolls up an inclined plane of angle of inclination 30°. At the bottom of the inclined plane the centre of mass of the cylinder has a speed of 5 m/s.
(a) How far will the cylinder go up the plane?
(b) How long will it take to return to the bottom?

Initial velocity of the cylinder, v = 5 m/s
Angle of inclination, = 30
Height reached by the cylinder = h
Energy of the cylinder at point A:
KE rot + KEtrans
(1/2) I + (1/2) m
Energy of the cylinder at point B = mgh
Using the law of conservation of energy
(1/2) I + (1/2) m = mgh
Moment of inertia of the solid cylinder I = (1/2) mr2
Hence (1/2)(1/2)mr2 + (1/2) m = mgh
We also know v = r
(1/4)m + (1/2) m = mgh
(3/4) = gh
h = (3/4)( = (3/4)(25/9.81) = 1.91 m
In Δ ABC, = , AB = BC / = 3.82 m
