Let it rotates by θ,
then by energy conservation:
mgR(1-cosθ)=(1/2)*(3/2)mR2ω2...
for it to just leave surface....
mω2R=mg.cosθ
solving these two equations we get θ.

b)
ωR is the velocity of COM before leaving contact...

c)
Rot K.E.=(1/2)(1/2)mR2ω2
Translational K.E. = (1/2)m(ωR)2+mg.R.cosθ
After leaving contact Rot K.E. Does not changes

a) mgR(1-cosθ)=(1/2)(1/2 + 1)mR^2ω^2 = 3/4 mR^2ω^2
=> ω2R2 = 4/3 gR(1-cosθ)
=> v2 = 4/3 gR(1-cosθ) -----------------(1)
at any angle θ, force balancing,,,, N+mv2/R= mgcosθ
wen cylinder leaves contact,,, N=0.... so...
mv2/R= mgcosθc --------------------(2)
from eqn (1) and (2)...
cosθc = 4/7 => θc = cos-14/7.
b) velocity of center of mass while leaving contact ... from prev. part...
v = √[4/3 gR(1-cosθc)]
= √[4/3X 3gr/7]
= 2√(gr/7)
c) in third part,,, rot. K.E. will be same ... 3/4mR2ω2
=3/4 X mgr4/3 X 3/7
=3/7 mgr.
trans K.E. = 1/2 m 4gr/7 + mg r4/7 = 6mgr/7
therefore
ratio of trans/ rot =2. (i am doubtful abt this ans... plz correct if wrong...)

That rot K.E. u wrote: 3/4mR2ω2
thats total energy when it just looses contact... not rot K.E.
rot K.E. = (1/2)mR2ω2
translational K.E. (when center is at horizontal)is correct....

3rd question naa? i also thought it has mistake, i pointed that in above post....

yup my mistake... :(
c) in third part,,, rot. K.E. will be same ... 1/4 mR2ω2
=1/4 X mgr4/3 X 3/7
=1/7 mgr.
trans K.E. = 1/2 m 4gr/7 + mg r4/7 = 6mgr/7
therefore
ratio of trans/ rot =6.

in the above how the trans KE comes to sum of two qtys to give 6mgr/7

i din get u ...
is it that we have ke in X component and y component?

trans K.E. = 1/2 m 4gr/7 + mg r4/7 = 6mgr/7
first part is the KE of the body at the time of leaving contact... the second part is due to loss in height...

After loosing contact the rot K.E does not changes as no torque acts on it after(mg passes thorough center).
But that mg changes transl. K.E.........
so transl K.E. change......

i think the cylinder has acquired velocity due to loss in PE. SO we dont want to cosider both (while calculating translatiomal KE)

'both' means? after leaving point of contact,,,, how can the cylinder at all rotate? ... it will only fall down naa ? did u get....
