- A solid cylinder with mass m, radius R, and rotational inertia I (about its center) is released from rest and rolls down a ramp. Friction between the bottom of the cylinder and the ramp causes the cylinder to roll without slipping. The linear acceleration of the cylinder is a. Which TWO of the equations below are correct for this scenario? The equations are in terms of m, I, R, and a, as well as f (the force of static friction between the cylinder and the ramp) and g.
