A thin cylindrical ring starts from rest at a height h1 = 98 m. The ring has a radius R = 34 cm and a mass M = 4 kg. Part (a) Write an expression for the ring's initial energy at point 1, assuming that the gravitational potential energy at point 3 is zero. Part (b) If the ring rolls (without slipping) all the way to point 2, what is the ring's energy at point 2 in terms of h2 and v2? Part (c) Given h2 = 32 m, what is the velocity of the ring at point 2 in m/s? Part (d) What is the ring's rotational velocity in rad/s? Part (e) After passing point 2 the hill becomes frictionless and the ring's rotational velocity remains constant. What is the linear velocity of the ring at point 3 in m/s?
