Problem

A solid cylinder of mass

2.5\,\text{kg}

and radius

0.15\,\text{m}

starts from rest and rolls without slipping down a straight ramp that is

5.0\,\text{m}

long and

1.8\,\text{m}

high. While it moves, a constant

3.0\,\text{N}

resistive force acts opposite its motion along the ramp. Calculate the speed of the cylinder’s center of mass at the bottom of the ramp. (Use

g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2
