Question: A solid sphere of mass M = 2 kg and radius R = 0 . 2 m is initially at rest at the top of

A solid sphere of mass M=2kg and radius R=0.2m is initially at rest at the top of a ramp of height H=1.2m and angle =30. The sphere released and rolls without slipping to the bottom of the ramp. The moment of inertia of the sphere is I=25MR2.
It takes t=1.17s for the sphere to roll to the bottom of the ramp.
What is the net torque acting on the sphere as it rolls down the ramp? Define clockwise as positive.
