What have I done wrong? (torque and angular momentum)

[SOLVED] What have I done wrong? (torque and angular momentum)

Homework Statement

A billiardball is hit from rest by the cue at height "h" from the table with a force F in the time interval Δt. The mass M and radius R of the ball is known as well as the moment of inertia which is I=\frac{2}{5}MR^2
Find an expression for the height "h" at which the billiardball will roll without slipping when it is hit.

Homework Equations

Condition for roll with no slipping:
v_{CM}=R\omega

The Attempt at a Solution

I start by finding an expression for v_{cm}.

Center of mass differentiated by Δt gives:
v_{CM}=\frac{Mv}{M}=v


Newton's 2nd law:
F=M\frac{v}{Δt}

Isolating velocity gives:
v=MFΔt

Since the velocity is equal to the velocity of the center of mass:
v_{CM}=MFΔt

Now I find an expression for the angular velocity.

The net torque is given by:
∑τ=Iα

The only force is the force F from the cue which gives the torque τ=F(h-R) where (h-R) is the perpendicular length from the force F to the center of mass of the ball.
F(h-R)=I\frac{\omega}{Δt}

The angular velocity is:
\omega=\frac{F(h-R)Δt}{I}

Now I insert the velocity of CM and the angular velocity into the rolling without slip equation:
MFΔt=R\frac{F(h-R)Δt}{I}

And I end up with:
h=R(2/5M^2+1)

But my expression for the height has the mass squared in it. What did I do wrong?

Newton's 2nd law:
F=M\frac{v}{Δt}

Isolating velocity gives:
v=MFΔt

Try that step again.
(Do you know how to do dimensional analysis? That's a very useful way to sanity-check an equation.)

That's it! Now the answer is correct, thanks! :)
