Solution
It is given that a hollow sphere is released from the top of an inclined plane of inclination θ.
(a) To prevent sliding, the body will make only perfect rolling. In this condition, we have
\[mgl \sin \theta - f = ma............(1)\]
\[f \times R = \left( \frac{2}{3} \right) m R^2 \times \left( \frac{a}{R} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow f = \frac{2}{3} ma...........(2)\]
On putting this value in the equation (1), we get
\[mg \sin \theta - \frac{2}{3} ma = ma\]
\[\Rightarrow a = \frac{3}{5} g \sin \theta\]
From equation (1), we have
\[mg \sin \theta - f = \frac{3}{5} mg \sin \theta\]
\[ \Rightarrow f = \frac{2}{5} mg \sin \theta\]
\[ \Rightarrow \mu mg \cos \theta = \frac{2}{5} mg \sin\theta\]
\[ \Rightarrow \mu = \frac{2}{5} \tan \theta\]
(b)
\[\left( \frac{1}{5} \right) \tan \theta \left( mg \cos \theta \right) R = \frac{2}{3} m R^2 \alpha\]
\[ \Rightarrow \alpha = \frac{3}{10} \left( \frac{g \sin \theta}{R} \right)\]
\[a_c = g \sin \theta - \left( \frac{g}{5} \right) \sin \theta\]
\[ = \left( \frac{4}{5} \right) g \sin \theta\]
\[ \Rightarrow t^2 = \frac{2l}{a_c}\]
\[= 2l \left( 4g\frac{\sin \theta}{5} \right) \left( \frac{5}{2g \sin \theta} \right)\]
\[\therefore \omega = at \]
\[ K . E . = \frac{1}{2} m \nu^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \]
\[ = \frac{1}{2} m \left( 2al \right) + \frac{1}{2} l \left( a^2 t^2 \right)\]
\[ = \frac{1}{2} m \left( 4g \frac{\sin \theta}{5} \right) \times 2 \times l + \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} m R^2 \times \frac{9}{100}\]
\[ = \left( \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{R} \right) \times \left( \frac{5L}{2g \sin \theta} \right)\]
\[ = 4 mgl \frac{\sin \theta}{5} + 3 mgl \frac{\sin \theta}{40}\]
\[ = \frac{7}{8} mgl \sin \theta\]
