Sphere on an Incline


A solid sphere of uniform density starts from rest and rolls without slipping down an inclined plane with angle θ = 30o. The sphere has mass M = 8 kg and radius R = 0.19 m . The coefficient of static friction between the sphere and the plane is μ = 0.64. What is the magnitude of the frictional force on the sphere?
