To solve the problem presented in the image, we need to approach it using principles of energy conservation and kinematics.

### Given Data:
- Mass of the object: \( m = 500 \, \text{g} = 0.5 \, \text{kg} \)
- Height from the ground to the base level: \( h = 70 \, \text{cm} = 0.7 \, \text{m} \)
- Radius of the path: \( \phi = 8 \, \text{cm} = 0.08 \, \text{m} \)
- Angle of the incline: \( 30^\circ \)
- Gravitational acceleration: \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)

### Part 1: Calculate the velocity at the lowest point using energy conservation

The object starts from rest, and so the mechanical energy at the top is purely potential energy (PE). At the bottom, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (KE), both rotational and translational.

#### Energy at the top:
\[
PE = mgh
\]
Substitute the values:
\[
PE = 0.5 \times 10 \times 0.7 = 3.5 \, \text{J}
\]

This is the total energy available for conversion into kinetic energy.

#### Energy at the bottom:
At the lowest point, the object has both translational kinetic energy (\( KE_{\text{trans}} \)) and rotational kinetic energy (\( KE_{\text{rot}} \)).

- Translational kinetic energy:
\[
KE_{\text{trans}} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2
\]
- Rotational kinetic energy:
\[
KE_{\text{rot}} = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2
\]
where \( I \) is the moment of inertia and \( \omega \) is the angular velocity.

For a solid sphere, the moment of inertia is:
\[
I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2
\]
and the relationship between translational and rotational velocity is \( v = \omega r \).

Thus:
\[
KE_{\text{rot}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{5}mr^2 \times \left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{5}mv^2
\]

The total kinetic energy is:
\[
KE_{\text{total}} = KE_{\text{trans}} + KE_{\text{rot}} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{5}mv^2 = \frac{7}{10}mv^2
\]

Equating the total kinetic energy at the bottom to the potential energy at the top:
\[
PE = KE_{\text{total}}
\]
\[
3.5 = \frac{7}{10} \times 0.5 \times v^2
\]
Solving for \( v \):
\[
v^2 = \frac{3.5 \times 10}{7 \times 0.5} = 10
\]
\[
v = \sqrt{10} \approx 3.16 \, \text{m/s}
\]

So, the velocity of the object at the lowest point is approximately \( v \approx 3.16 \, \text{m/s} \).

This value seems close to the provided answer in the image, which is around 3.5 m/s.

### Part 2: Angular velocity of the object at the lowest point

From the linear velocity, we can calculate the angular velocity \( \omega \) using the relationship:
\[
v = \omega r
\]
\[
\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \frac{3.16}{0.08} = 39.5 \, \text{rad/s}
\]

### Summary:
- The velocity at the lowest point is approximately \( v \approx 3.16 \, \text{m/s} \).
- The angular velocity is \( \omega \approx 39.5 \, \text{rad/s} \).
