In the figure, a sphere of radius 2 m rolls on a plank. The accelerations of the sphere and the plank are indicated. The value of α is 

a
2rad/s2
b
4rad/s2
c
3rad/s2
d
1rad/s2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

As sphere rolls, the lowest point of the sphere should have the same acceleration as the plank. Hence, a1=αR−a22=2α−4 ⇒ α=3rad/s2
