1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A 320 N sphere 0.20 m in radius rolls, without slipping, 6.0 m down a ramp that is inclined at 25° with the horizontal. What is the angular speed of the sphere at the bottom of the hill if it starts from rest?
2. Relevant equations
I sphere= (2/5)mr^2
atan=rα
v=rω
3. The attempt at a solution
I tried first to use F∆x=(1/2)*[(2/5)mr^2]ωf^2-0(zero because it starts from rest) but then i realize i don't have a mass and now i don't really know what to do. any helpful hints or suggestions would be appreicated
