Problem
A thin spherical shell (hollow sphere) of mass 1.8kg and radius 0.12m must leave the bottom of a ramp with a linear speed of 4.0m/s. Assuming it rolls without slipping for the entire distance, determine the minimum vertical height the ramp must provide. (Moment of inertia of a thin spherical shell: I=32MR2.)
