Yes, if you take the same sense as positive for both, but no law says you have to. If ##\theta## is the angle clockwise from vertical...

Yes, they are as you've written about. Proceeding on the original question to find the time period, my calculation is not giving the...

Let's change the symbols a bit to make things clear. You can view the motion as a pendulum that swings in a circular arc of length...

I still don't fully understand what you meant to say in the last line here. My opinion is: ##\alpha_{cm}## and ##\alpha_{about C}##...

No, ##\Delta s## is greater than that because of the curved surface. Consider e.g. R only marginally greater than r.

Agreed. You've mentioned that: we can infer that ##\alpha## is positive for rolling up the slope. I don't think I understand this line...

Here's how I think that equation has been derived. ## \ddot{\theta }## is the angular acceleration about the point C (centre of...

No, I don't think that's wrong. One can show any direction of frictional force(either up or down the incline) and the calculation will...

"Indeterminate" is a word that a mathematician might use for a force vector that is zero. A physicist would say that a zero force is no...

Your last sentence is "The minus sign here means that the direction of friction is up the incline." Is it always up the incline? You...
