Simplify and solve for v
The speed of the ball does not depend on its mass nor on its radius. It even does not depend on the angle of the incline, just the height from which it starts.
Do the same calculation with a cylinder and determine which will reach the bottom of the incline first, the sphere or the cylinder if released together.

34. An object in equilibrium has no linear and no angular accelerations
An object in equilibrium has no linear and no angular accelerations. That does not mean it isn’t moving, just not accelerating. When an object is stationary it is said to be in static equilibrium. Many of the equilibrium problems here will be static equilibrium problems.
