A hoop with a mass of 10 kg is rolling without slipping along a horizontal surface with a speed of 3.6 m/s when it starts up a ramp that makes an angle of 26 ° above the horizontal. What is the rotational kinetic energy of the hoop after it has rolled 1.200 m up as measured along the surface of the ramp?
