Rolling motion
Question

A sphere has to purely roll upwards. At an instant when the velocity of sphere is v, frictional force acting on it is

Moderate
Solution

In case of rolling upwards in the inclined plane, let say friction acts upwards

Translation : mgsinθ-f=ma 

Rotation : fR=25mR2aR

 For sphere, k2=25R2    

 From Eqs. (i) and (ii), f=27mgsinθ (upwards)
