The correct answer is:
Using the conservation of mechanical energy between and
At B, total kinetic energy =
Here, = mass of the ball
The ratio of rotational to translational kinetic energy would be,
∴
In portion , friction is absent. Therefore, rotational kinetic energy will remain constant and translational kinetic energy will convert into potential energy.
Hence, if be the height to which ball climbs in , then
or
