Question

A sphere is released on a smooth inclined plane from the top. when it moves down, its angular momentum is

Moderate
Solution

As the inclined plane is smooth, the sphere can never roll, rather it will just slip down. Hence, the angular momentum remains conserved about any point on a line parallel to the inclined plane and passes through the centre of the ball.
