PROBLEM 17.106
A prototype of an adapted bowling device is a simple
ramp that attaches to a wheelchair. The bowling ball has
a mass moment of inertia about its center of gravity of
cmr
2
, where c is a unitless constant, r is the radius, and m
is its mass. The athlete nudges the ball slightly from a
height of h, and the ball rolls down the ramp without
sliding. It hits the bowling lane, and after slipping for a
short distance, it begins to roll again. Assuming that the
ball does not bounce as it hits the lane, determine the
angular velocity and velocity of the mass center of the
ball after it has resumed rolling.
