- Homework Statement
- A solid spherical ball of mass m and radius r rolls without slipping on a rough concave surface of
large radius R. Find the magnitude and direction of friction on the ball.
- Relevant Equations
- $$ \tau = I\alpha $$, F = ma
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it.
I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction.
I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
