Problem

A string is wrapped around the equator of a solid sphere of mass 1.5 kg1.5\,\text{kg} and radius 0.12 m0.12\,\text{m}. The string is pulled horizontally with a constant tension of 15 N15\,\text{N} across a level surface. Assuming the sphere rolls without slipping, determine its linear acceleration. Provide your answer with units.
