Rotational Dynamics
A thick walled hollow sphere has outer radius $$R$$. It rolls down an inclined plane without slipping and its speed at the bottom is $$v$$. If the inclined plane is frictionless and the sphere slides down without rolling, its speed at the bottom will be $$5v / 4$$. What is the radius of gyration of the sphere?
Rotational Dynamics
A solid sphere is in rolling motion. In rolling motion a body possesses translational kinetic energy $$(K_t)$$ as well as rotational kinetic energy $$(K_r)$$ simultaneously. The ratio $$K_t : (K_t + K_r)$$ for the sphere is?

Two solid cylinders $$P$$ and $$Q$$ of same mass and same radius start rolling down a fixed inclined plane from the same height at the same time. Cylinder $$P$$ has most of its mass concentrated near its surface, while $$Q$$ has most of its mass concentrated near the axis. Which statement(s) is (are) correct ?

Rotational Dynamics
A uniform solid cylinder of radius $$R=15\:cm$$ rolls over a horizontal plane passing into an inclined plane forming an angle $$\alpha=30^\circ$$ with the horizontal (figure shown above). Find the maximum value of the velocity $$v_0$$ in (m/s) which still permits the cylinder to roll onto the inclined plane section without a jump. The sliding is assumed to be absent.
