What is the velocity of block M after the cylinder has traveled 1 m down the incline?
A solid cylinder of mass m = 1 kg, initially at rest, starts to roll down a rough surface inclined at a 30° angle to horizontal . The axis of the cylinder is attached through massless strings and pulleys to a square block of mass M = 2kg that rests initially on top of a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block M and the horizontal surface of the table is μ = 0.12. The cylinder rolls without slipping.
