A solid sphere of mass 10 kg is placed on a rough surface having coefficient of friction,
. A constant force
is applied along a line passing through the centre of the sphere as shown in figure. The frictional force acting on the sphere will be

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Let
be the frictional force towards left for pure rolling.
Now, linear acceleration,
