Question

Terry is re-roofing her home. The roof has a 32.8º slope (from the horizontal), and the ridge, or top of the roof is 2.00 meters above the eaves, or bottom edge of the roof, as measured vertically. Her son accidentally lets go of a 10.0 kg roll of tar-paper right at the ridge, releasing it from rest. ( r = 8.00 cm) Find both the speed of the center of mass of the roll, and the angular speed of the roll as it reaches the eaves.

Answer 1

Result-

Speed of the tar roll = 5.164m/sec

Angular speed = 64.55 rad/sec
