  1. The ratio of the accelerations for a solid sphere (mass ‘m’ and radius ‘R’) rolling down an incline of angle ‘θ’ without slipping and slipping down the incline without rolling is :
    1. 5 : 7
    2. 2 : 3
    3. 2 : 5
    4. 7 : 5
Correct Option: A

For solid sphere rolling without slipping
slipping on inclined plane, acceleration

a1 =
g sin θ
1 +

For solid sphere slipping on inclined plane without rolling, acceleration
a2 = g sin θ
Therefore required ratio =
a1
a2

=
1
=
1
=
5
1 +
1 +
2
7
