|
a) |
The frictional force on the sphere acts towards right |
b) |
The value of the frictional force is 3 N |
c) |
The acceleration of the centre of the sphere is 9.8 |
d) |
The acceleration of the centre of the sphere is 10 |

(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
