Problem

A 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} solid cylinder of radius 0.10 m0.10\,\text{m} is released from rest at the top of a straight ramp that makes an angle of 30∘30^{\circ} with the horizontal. It rolls without slipping. Calculate the linear acceleration of the cylinder as it begins to move down the ramp. Express your answer with appropriate units.
