## ParthKohli one year ago Acceleration of a cylindrical/circular/spherical body down an inclined plane!

Lol is this supposed to be a question?

Express the acceleration of the body down in the inclined plane in terms of $$I, R, M, \theta$$. This is a very basic and fundamental problem in rotational mechanics, but it is quite important to understand what's happening here.

*Assume pure rolling motion.

@ganeshie8 OK, here it is.

This will answer your question exactly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64oYran-mZw&list=PLTAnYeruJqLeW0sK3Gzwh2VxAPEhI8RWc&index=14 This is the only way I can think to do this problem so idk if there's some other way to do this.

7. ParthKohli

dude it was meant as a challenge

8. Empty

what how was I supposed to know lol whoops

9. ParthKohli

yes hello @Astrophysics

10. Astrophysics

I've actually done this using Lagrangian

11. Astrophysics

But you'll have to use conservation of energy I guess

12. ParthKohli

no

13. Astrophysics

Haha ok, use torque and Newton's laws then
