Sphere Rolling Without Slipping on an Incline
A uniform sphere of mass M and radius R is on a rough inclined plane that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction, μs, that will allow the sphere to roll down the plane without slipping?
A
μs = tanθ
B
The sphere cannot be in rotational equilibrium
C
μs = (2/7)tanθ
D
μs = (2/7)tanθ
