$A$ solid cylinder and a solid sphere,having same mass $M$ and radius $R$,roll down the same inclined plane from the top without slipping. They start from rest. The ratio of the velocity of the solid cylinder to that of the solid sphere,with which they reach the ground,will be:

Prove that the velocity $v$ of translation of a rolling body (like a ring,disc,cylinder,or sphere) at the bottom of an inclined plane of height $h$ is given by $v^{2} = \frac{2gh}{1 + k^{2}/R^{2}}$ using dynamical considerations (i.e.,by considering forces and torques). Note: $k$ is the radius of gyration of the body about its symmetry axis,and $R$ is the radius of the body. The body starts from rest at the top of the plane.
