As shown in the figure,a bob of mass $m$ is tied by a massless string whose other end portion is wound on a flywheel (disc) of radius $r$ and mass $m$. When released from rest,the bob starts falling vertically. When it has covered a distance of $h$,the angular speed of the wheel will be

$A$ $3.0\ kg$ bobbin consists of a central cylinder of radius $5.0\ cm$ and two end plates each of radius $6.0\ cm$. It is placed on a slotted incline,where friction is sufficient to prevent sliding. $A$ block of mass $4.5\ kg$ is suspended from a cord wound around the bobbin and passing through the slot under the incline. If the bobbin is in static equilibrium,what is the angle of tilt $\theta$ of the incline?
