Rolling motion
Question

A sphere rolls without slipping on an incline of inclination θ. The minimum coefficient of static friction to support pure rolling is to be

Moderate
Solution

For pure rolling
\large \mu >\frac {tan\theta}{1+\frac {mR^2}{I_C}}
\large \therefore \mu_{min} =\frac {tan\theta}{\left ( 1+\frac {R^2}{K^2} \right )} =\frac {tan\theta}{\left ( 1+5/2 \right )}=\frac 27tan\theta
