A cylinder rolling down an incline.Moment of Interia is I
And the cylinders mass is m
Velocity is: v
And cylinder radius: r

Angel on the incline: yhttp://img122.imageshack.us/img122/8756/cylpz9.jpg

How do i calculate the cylinders angular acceleration?

ma=mg*[tex]\\siny[/tex]

a=g*[tex]\\siny[/tex]

angular acceleration:[tex]\alpha[/tex]=a/r

Im i right?
