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