Hi John: I was following this one until I got to the algebra at the bottom. In the next-to-last line you seem to have factored out a 1/R^2, which I don't think you can get away with since only one term has R^2 in it. You can, however, factor out V^2/2 to get mgh = v^2/2 * (m + I/R^2) This would solve to v = sqrt [2mgh/(m + I/R^2)] Hope this helps! Don A.
