Hi. I have a problem about rolling motion. Suppose that I have a large hollow cylinder. A smaller solid cylinder is embedded inside the larger hollow cylinder. http://www.geocities.com/andre_pradhana/cylinderkendro2.JPG When I positioned the cylinder on a flat ramp like the picture below...

I know understand it. Thank you very much...

Hi. I have problem calculating the moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder if an extra mass in shape of smaller solid cylinder is embedded a distance x from the center of the larger cylinder. Firstly, I use the moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder, which is I_{larger cylinder}=m_2R_2^2. I...

Hi guys... Can anyone hlp me with the mechanism of a cylinder rolling down a ramp? Here's my understanding about the problem. Can anybody corrected me? If the CM is located at point O (the center of the cylinder), then the torque of for the rotational mechanism is provided by the friction force...
