MCQ
What is the minimum coefficient of friction for a solid sphere to roll without slipping on an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ ?
  • $\frac{2}{7} \tan \theta$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3} g \tan \theta$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \tan \theta$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{5} \tan \theta$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{2}{7} \tan \theta$
a
(a)

$\mu=\frac{I \tan \theta}{I+m r^2}=\frac{\frac{2}{5} m r^2 \tan \theta}{\frac{2}{5} m r^2+m r^2}$

$=\frac{2 \tan \theta}{7}$
