A solid sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ is placed at the bottom of a frictionless inclined plane of angle $ heta$. If the sphere starts rolling without slipping, find the speed $v$ of the sphere at the bottom of the plane in terms of $g$ and $R$.

Question

A solid sphere of radius $R$ and mass $M$ is placed at the bottom of a frictionless inclined plane of angle $	heta$. If the sphere starts rolling without slipping, find the speed $v$ of the sphere at the bottom of the plane in terms of $g$ and $R$.

Accepted Answer

\frac{\sqrt{2gR$ 1+\sin\theta $}}{\sqrt{3}}
