A force F acts at the centre of a thin spherical shell of mass m and radius R.
Find the acceleration of the shell if the surface is smooth.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`because` Force F, mg & N passes through centre so `tau_("net")=0`, i.e., body is in rotational equilibrium

But `vec(F_("net"))=F` so body moves with constant acceleration `a=(F)/(m)`
