A sphere rolls down on an inclined plane of inclination `theta`. What is the acceleration as the sphere reaches bottom?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the acceleration of a sphere rolling down an inclined plane, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the forces acting on the sphere When a solid sphere rolls down an inclined plane, two main forces act on it: - The gravitational force acting downwards, which can be resolved into two components: one parallel to the incline (down the slope) and one perpendicular to the incline. - The frictional force that allows the sphere to roll without slipping. ### Step 2: Write the equation for acceleration ...
