You live on a planet far from ours. "Based on extensive communication with a physicist on earth", you have determined that all laws of physics on your planet are the same as ours and you have adopted the same units of seconds and meters as on earth. But you suspect that the value of g, the acceleration of an object in free fall near the surface of your planet, is different from what it is on earth. To test this, you take a solid uniform cylinder and let it roll down an incline. The vertical height h of the top of the incline above the lower end of the incline can be varied. You measure the speed vcm of the center of mass of the cylinder when it reaches the bottom for various values of h. You plot v2cm (in m2/s2) versus h (in m) and find that your data lie close to a straight line with a slope of 6.42 m/s2

8.56 m/s2

Explanation:

Using law of energy conservation while taking into account of the rotational and translation kinetic energy, when the solid cylinder rolls down the incline we have the potential energy converted to kinetic energy:

where m is the mass, is the moments of inertia of the solid cylinder is the angular speed of the cylinder

So if you plot a liner chart of h vs and get a slope of 6.42 then that means 3/(4g) = 6.42 so

The gravitational acceleration on this planet is 8.56 m/s2

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.

r = ρ x length / area  

ρ = r x area / length  

ρ is in ohm-meters  

in basic units, it is m³kg/s³a²  

i think this is it.
