Detailed Solution
At the maximum height, vertical velocity of cylinder is zero. But horizontal velocity of the wedge and cylinder will be same.In the absence of friction between the cylinder and the wedge surface, angular velocity of cylinder remains constant. From energy conservation:12mv2+12Iω2=12mv′2+12Iω2+12mv′2+mgh.........(i)By the conservation of linear momentummv=2mv′ ⇒v′=v/2......(ii) From (i) and (ii): h=v2/4g
