Problem

A solid sphere of mass

1.2\,\text{kg}

and radius

0.10\,\text{m}

is released from rest on a

15^\circ

incline. Neglect air resistance. What is the magnitude of the sphere’s linear acceleration as it begins to roll without slipping? a)

2.5\,\text{m/s}^2

1.5\,\text{m/s}^2

1.8\,\text{m/s}^2

3.7\,\text{m/s}^2
