Homework Statement
A uniform sphere rolls down a 30 degree incline θ from height h. Initially, the solid is at rest. Find the acceleration for the center of the mass of the solid.
I am not sure where to start with this problem. I started with the energy formulas, but I am not sure how to find the acceleration of the center of mass from there. I just need a guide on what formulas or setup to use, thanks!
Homework Equations
Translational and rotational motion equations
The Attempt at a Solution
K_i=mghsin30
K_f=1/2mv^2+1/2Iω^2
then I solved for v:
v=radical(10/7*ghsin30)
