Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Focal \ length = 10 \ cm}$

Given:

Radius of curvature (R) of a spherical mirror = 20

To Find:

Focal length (f)

Explanation:

Formula:

$\boxed{ \bold{\sf Focal \ length \ (f) = \frac{Radius \ of \ curvature \ (R)}{2}}}$

Substituting value of R in the equation:

$\sf \implies f = \frac{20}{2}$

$\sf \implies f = \frac{ \cancel{2} \times 10}{ \cancel{2}}$

$\sf \implies f = 10 \: cm$

Focal length = 10 cm.

Solution :

Given radius of curvature = 20 cm.

Formula :

Focal length = Radius of curvature/2

→ Focal length = 20/2

→ Focal length = 10 cm.

Answer : 10 cm.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy ,

Potential energy = kinetic energy

$mgh = \frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} \times I \times \omega^{2}$

I = $\frac{mr^{2}}{2}$

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}$

$mgh = [\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{2} \times (\frac{mr^{2}}{2}) \frac{v^{2}}{r^{2}}]$

mgh = $[\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{4} \times mv^{2}]$

$g \times h = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}$

$9.8 \times 4.2 = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}$

v = 7.4 m/s

thus, we can conclude that the translational speed of the cylinder when it leaves the incline is 7.4 m/s.
