We will use conservation of energy to solve this problem. We need to consider the rotational energy of the cylinder and the translational energy of the center of mass.
E_i=E_f
U(h)=K_(trans)+K_(rot)
Mgh=1/2 Mv^2+1/2 I omega^2
Mgh=1/2 Mv^2+1/2 I (v/R)^2
We need to find the moment of inertia.
I= int r^2 dm=int r^2 rho(r) dv
I=int_0^R r^2 rho(r) z (2pi r) dr
I=2pi zA int _0^R r^4 dr
I=(2pi zAR^5)/5
Now to get A in terms of M .
M=int dm=int_0^R rho(r) z(2pi r) dr
M=2A z pi int_0^R r^2 dr=2A z pi (1/3)R^3
A=(3M)/(2z pi R^3)
I=(2pi zAR^5)/5=(2pi z)(3M)/(2z pi R^3)*(R^5/5)=3/5MR^2
Now solve the energy equation for v .
Mgh=1/2 Mv^2+1/2 I (v/R)^2
2Mgh=Mv^2+(3/5MR^2)*(v/R)^2
2gh=v^2+(3/5)v^2
2gh=(8/5)v^2
5/4 gh=v^2
sqrt(5gh)/2=v

Consider a cylinder of radius R , mass M , length z , and density rho(r)=Ar that rolls without slipping down an inclined plane of height h at an angle theta . What is the velocity of the cylinder at the bottom of the inclined plane?
