A uniform sphere is released on a smooth inclined plane from the top. When it moves down, its angular momentum is:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
As the inclined plane is smooth, the sphere can never roll rather it will just slip down.
Hence, the angular momentum remains conserved about any point on a line parallel to the inclined plane and passing through the center of the ball because the only forces, Mg & N, acts at center.
