If we had a cylinder rolling down a ramp, with scalar friction coefficient us and kinetic friction coefficient uc, and we assume for example that the inclination of the ramp is enough to make the cylinder reach the acceleration needed to exceed the scalar friction of rolling. It means that the scalar velocity of the cylinder is not equal to ωR anymore (where ω is the angular velocity). So how can we calculate the angular and scalar velocity now? Or in other words, the parcel of the kinetic energy directed to translational and rotational energy?
Is it possible to calculate the minimum inclination of the ramp that satisfies the statement above?
If needed use other variables like h for the height of the cylinder, g for gravity, etc...
