Okay so I have a 1/2 in thick ellipsoidal steel plate where (p=493 lb/ft^3) and it has a major axis diameter of 4ft and a minor of 2ft. the plate rolls w/out slipping (friction=0.15) and in a vertical position has an angular velocity of of w=4 rad/s(i.e. the 4 ft diameter is along the y axis with the 2ft parallel to the x axis. I need to determine the angular velocity when the plate has rotated such that the major 4ft axis is horizontal.
