Question
A solid sphere of radius $R$ is placed on smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force $F$ is applied at height $h$ from the lowest point. For the maximum acceleration of centre of mass, which is correct?
✓
Answer
Surface is smooth so there is no friction at the contact surface. then acceleration is dependent only on force applied
$a =\frac{ F }{ m }$
so there is no role of height to find out the acceleration
