You are to conduct a series of trials. For each trial the inclination of the plane is set to an angle theta, ranging from 0^(@)to 90^(@) and an object is released from rest at the top of the stationary inclined plane. The coefficient of static friction between the object and the inclined plane is mu_(s). In each case below, predict the observed outcome for the trial. In the following equation 'tumble' means 'tip' over and rotate' and 'sliding' means NO tumbling Case1: The object is a sphere and mu_(s)=0 |

Answer» The sphere will roll WITHOUT slipping for SMALL `THETA` and slide down only for `theta` greater than a certain non-zero value |
