Homework Statement
You hold a small ice cube near the top edge of a hemispherical bowl of radius 100 mm. You release the cube from rest. What is the magnitude of its acceleration at the instant it reaches the bottom of the bowl? Ignore friction.
Homework Equations
a=v^2/r delta U= delta Krot +delta Ktrans
The Attempt at a Solution
mgR=1/2Iw^2+1/2mv^2
a=v^2/rSo I'm not sure if it is so far so good. How do I find the rotational inertia here? How should I approach this question.
