Homework Statement


A solid 162 N ball with a radius of 0.350m rolls 5.9 m down a ramp tha is linclined at 33° with the horizontal. If the ball starts from rest at the top of the ramp what is the angular speed of the ball at the bottom of the ramp?


Homework Equations


MEi= MEf
PEg=KE + KErot
mgh= .5mv2 +.5Iω2
ω= v/r

The Attempt at a Solution


I solved the conservation of energy equation for velocity then divided by the radius of the ball, but it did not work, am I approaching the problem wrong?
