MCQ
A solid sphere is rolling down in the inclined plane, from rest without slipping. The angle of inclination with horizontal is 30°. The linear acceleration of the sphere is –
  • A
    $28 ms ^{-2}$
  • B
    $3.9 ms ^{-2}$
  • $\frac{25}{7} ms ^{-2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{20} ms ^{-2}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{25}{7} ms ^{-2}$
$\frac{25}{7} ms ^{-2}$
We know that, $a =\frac{g \sin \theta}{1+\frac{k^2}{ R^2}}=\frac{g \sin 30^{\circ}}{1+\frac{2}{5}}$
$\because \frac{k^2}{ R ^2} \text { for solid sphere }=\frac{2}{5} $
$a=\frac{10 \times \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{7}{5}}=\frac{25}{7}=3.6 ms ^{-2}$
