A solid sphere ($I = \tfrac{2}{5}MR^2$) rolls without slipping down a plane inclined at $\theta$. Its **linear acceleration** is:

  1. $g\sin\theta$
  2. $\tfrac{2}{7} g\sin\theta$
  3. $\tfrac{5}{7} g\sin\theta$
  4. $\tfrac{1}{2} g\sin\theta$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. $\tfrac{5}{7} g\sin\theta$

$a = g\sin\theta /(1 + I/MR^2) = g\sin\theta /(1 + 2/5) = (5/7) g\sin\theta$.
