Q. A solid sphere rolls down without slipping on an inclined plane at angle $60^{{^\circ}}$ over a distance of 10 m. The acceleration (in ${ms}^{- 2}$) is

A) 4
B) 5
C) 6
D) 7
Explanation

(c) Here $\theta = 60{^\circ},\ l = 10\ m,\ a = ?$
$a = \frac{g\sin\theta}{1 + \frac{K^{2}}{R^{2}}}$
For solid sphere $K^{2} = \frac{2}{5}R^{2}$
$a = \frac{9.8\sin{60{^\circ}}}{1 + \frac{2}{5}} = \frac{5}{7} \times 9.8 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 6.00\ ms^{- 2}$
