The correct answer is: 75

The total kinetic energy of the ball at the bottom of the curve can be calculated as follows:

K=12Mv2+12·23MR2ω2= 12Mv2+13MRω2= 12Mv2+13Mv2     v=ωR= 56Mv2   ...1

The formula to calculate the potential energy acquired by the ball when it attains the maximum height is given by

U=Mgh   ...2

Equate equation (1) and (2) and simplify to obtain the required height.

Mgh=56Mv2h=5v26g   ...3

Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (3) to calculate the required height attained by the ball.
h=5×3 m s-126×10 m s-2= 0.75 m×100 cm1 m=75 cm
