Answer Key / Explanation : (a,b,d) -

(a,b,d)

The point of contact between the sphere and the surface slips to the left. So, the frictional force  acts towards the right

If  is the linear acceleration of the centre of mass, then considering translational motion, we get

or (i)

Considering rotational motion about centre  we get

Net torque

          (ii)

Adding Eqs.(i) and (ii), we get

or

From Eq. (i), or N
