  1. A solid sphere of radius R is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force F is applied at height h from the lowest point. For the maximum acceleration of the centre of mass,​
    1. h = R
    2. h = 2R
    3. ​h = 0
    4. The acceleration will be same whatever h may be
Correct Option: D

As friction is absent at the point of contact,

Acceleration =
Force
Mass

It is independent of h
