$A$ hollow sphere and a solid sphere having the same mass and same radius are rolled down a rough inclined plane. Which of the following statements is correct?

$A$ solid cylinder of diameter $30 \ cm$ is rolled down an inclined plane from a height of $2 \ m$. If there is no energy loss due to friction,the angular velocity at the base of the plane is ....... $rad/s$. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ cylinder is rolling down on an inclined plane of inclination $60^{\circ}$. Its acceleration during rolling down will be $\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}} \ m/s^2$,where $x=$ . . . . . . . (use $g=10 \ m/s^2$)

Prove that the velocity $v$ of translation of a rolling body (like a ring,disc,cylinder,or sphere) at the bottom of an inclined plane of height $h$ is given by $v^{2} = \frac{2gh}{1 + k^{2}/R^{2}}$ using dynamical considerations (i.e.,by considering forces and torques). Note: $k$ is the radius of gyration of the body about its symmetry axis,and $R$ is the radius of the body. The body starts from rest at the top of the plane.
