Homework Statement



A picture shows a sphere of radius R, mass m, sliding from rest down a bowl. At the bottom of the bowl the mass begins rolling with μ(s). Find an expression for how high it rolls up the other side of the bowl(y).

Homework Equations



PE=KE
f(s)=F(normal)(μs)
PE=mgh
KE=1/2mv^2

The Attempt at a Solution


I attempted but it won't look pretty online
