I am still new to this kind of material, I’m still quite new to such material, but I believe that the angular momentum of the top cylinder is conserved (in the center of mass point). Moreover, could you please explain what do you mean by “higher dimensional problem” and why my problem is one...

The tutor solved the problem using kinetic spinning energy though I find it very difficult and confusing to do so, therefore, I would like to know if there is a way to solve the problem using effective potential energy, Veff = J2/(2mr2 below is a sketch of the problem
