Question
The following figure shows a smooth inclined plane fixed in a car accelerating on a horizontal road. The angle of incline θ is related to the acceleration a of the car as a = g tanθ. If the sphere is set in pure rolling on the incline, _____________.
Options
it will continue pure rolling
it will slip down the plane
its linear velocity will increase
its linear velocity will slowly decrease

Solution
it will continue pure rolling
From the free body diagram of sphere, we have
Net force on the sphere along the incline,
Fnet = mgsinθ − macosθ ...(i)
On putting a = gtanθ in equation (i), we get
Fnet = 0
Therefore, if the sphere is set in pure rolling on the incline, it will continue pure rolling.
