Hello Student,
These questions can be easily solved using work energy theorem,
Which States : Work done by external torque on rotating a body is equal to change in rotational kinetic energy.
Now ,
Mgsin(x)*R = I(alpha) = (Mr^2 + Mk^2)a/R
Using the above equation we can derive the following :
Acceleration = gsin(x)/1+(k^2/r^2)
Velocity = {2gh/1+(k^2/r^2)}^1/2
[x = angle of inclination . h = height from which sphere starts rolling , k= radius of gyration , r = radius of the sphere , alpha = angular acceleration]
Velocity can be found out using the above formula.
