A solid sphere of radius R is placed on ...

A solid sphere of radius `R` is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force `F` is applied at height `h` from the lowest point. For the maximum acceleration of the centre of mass

A

h = R

B

h = 2R

C

h = 0

D

h may be anywhere, as accelertion does not depend upon h

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When the force F is applied, the linear acceleration of the
`"sphere (a)"=("Force (F)")/("Mass (m)")`
`therefore` Acceleration does not depend upon the value of h.
