A sphere can roll on a surface inclined at an angle $\theta$ if the friction coefficient is more than $\frac{2}{7}\text{g}\sin\theta$ Suppose the friction coefficient is $\frac{1}{2}\text{g}\sin\theta$ and a sphere is released from rest on the incline,
→- It will stay at rest.
- It will translate and rotate about the centre.
- It will make pure translational motion.
- The angular momentum of the sphere about its centre will remain constant.
