parthkohli · Answer

Express the acceleration of the body down in the inclined plane in terms of $I, R, M, \theta $. This is a very basic and fundamental problem in rotational mechanics, but it is quite important to understand what's happening here.

what how was I supposed to know lol whoops

parthkohli · Answer

yes hello @Astrophysics

astrophysics · Answer

I've actually done this using Lagrangian

astrophysics · Answer

But you'll have to use conservation of energy I guess

parthkohli · Answer

no

astrophysics · Answer

Haha ok, use torque and Newton's laws then
