Homework Statement


I have attatched both the problems. The figure is essentially the same.

Homework Equations


1. Energy conservation
2.mgcosx - N = mv^2/r , where N is zero in limiting case.

The Attempt at a Solution


I solved the whole question and got the answer given in irodov(0.33 gR(7cosx-4))^1/2 .
But answer given in krotov is different.
So, there must be a difference in questions but i am unable to grasp it.
Thanks in advance.

The moments of inertia are different.
Well, in the detailed answer Krotov has ignored Kinetic energy due to rotational motion completely.His final equation is
mv^2/2 = mV^2/2 - mgr(1-cosx).
Anyways, moment of inertia of solid cylinder and disk are same
