Problem

A solid sphere of mass 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} and radius 0.15 m0.15\,\text{m} starts from rest and rolls without slipping down a ramp, dropping through a vertical height of 1.2 m1.2\,\text{m}. What is the sphere’s angular speed ω\omega when it reaches the bottom of the ramp? (a) 34 rad ⁣/ ⁣s34\,\text{rad}\!/\!\text{s} (b) 46 rad ⁣/ ⁣s46\,\text{rad}\!/\!\text{s} (c) 30 rad ⁣/ ⁣s30\,\text{rad}\!/\!\text{s} (d) 23 rad ⁣/ ⁣s23\,\text{rad}\!/\!\text{s}
