Solution

The correct option is B μ273
Le us assume the radius of the sphere is R.
F.B.D from the data given in the question is shown below.


From the diagram, we can deduce that
Fx=max [Net Force along x - direction]
mgsinθf=ma ......(1)
Fy=may [Net Force along y - direction]
N=mgcosθ .....(2)
Torque experienced by the sphere due to frictional force is given by
fR=Iα
where I= Moment of inertia of solid sphere =25mR2
fR=(25mR2)(aR) [α=aR]
f=25ma ......(3)
Substituting (3) in (1),
mgsinθ25ma=ma
gsinθ=(a+25a)
gsinθ=75a
a=57gsinθ
and from (3), we can say that
f=27mgsinθ .....(4)
For pure rolling, μNf
From (2) and (4)
μmgcosθ27mgsinθ
μ27tan θ
μ27tan 30
μ273
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
