When a body of mass m and radius R rolls down on inclined plane of height ‘h’ and angle of inclination θ, it loses potential energy. However it acquires both linear and angular speeds and hence, gain kinetic energy of translation and that of rotation.

(3) Time of descent : From equation v = u + at
By substituting u = 0 and value of v and a from above expressions
