Answer

$$ \begin{aligned} v^{2} &=\frac{2 m g h}{m+I / r^{2}} \\ &=\frac{2 g h}{1+I^{*}} \end{aligned} $$ where, $I^{*}=I / r^{2}$

Work Step by Step

$$ \begin{aligned} m g h &=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}+\frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2} \\ &=\frac{1}{2}\left(m+I / r^{2}\right) v^{2}, \end{aligned} $$ Thus, we have: $$ \begin{aligned} v^{2} &=\frac{2 m g h}{m+I / r^{2}} \\ &=\frac{2 g h}{1+I^{*}} \end{aligned} $$ where, $I^{*}=I / r^{2}$
