A 2.00-kg solid, uniform ball of radius 0.100 m is released from rest at point A as shown in the figure, its center of gravity a distance of 1.50 m above the ground. The ball rolls without slipping to the bottom of an incline and back up to point B where it is launched vertically into the air. The ball rises to its maximum height hmax at point C. At point B, find the ball’s translational speed. (The ball's moment of inertia is defined by   I=25MR2I=\frac{2}{5}MR^2  .)

a)

b)
