(N/A) For an object of mass $M$,radius $R$,and moment of inertia $I = kMR^2$ (where $k$ is a constant) to roll down an inclined plane of angle $\theta$ without slipping,the static friction $f$ must satisfy the condition $f \le \mu_s N$.
The acceleration of the object is given by $a = \frac{g \sin \theta}{1 + k}$.
The force of friction is given by $f = \frac{mg \sin \theta}{1 + \frac{MR^2}{I}} = \frac{mg \sin \theta}{1 + \frac{1}{k}}$.
The normal force is $N = mg \cos \theta$.
Substituting these into the inequality $f \le \mu_s N$:
$\frac{mg \sin \theta}{1 + \frac{1}{k}} \le \mu_s mg \cos \theta$.
Thus,the condition for rolling without slipping is $\mu_s \ge \frac{\tan \theta}{1 + \frac{1}{k}}$.

Two identical uniform discs roll without slipping on two different surfaces $AB$ and $CD$ (see figure) starting at $A$ and $C$ with linear speeds $v_1$ and $v_2$,respectively,and always remain in contact with the surfaces. If they reach $B$ and $D$ with the same linear speed and $v_1 = 3 \ m/s$,then $v_2$ in $m/s$ is $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.

$A$ solid sphere of mass $1 kg$ and radius $1 m$ rolls without slipping on a fixed inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\theta = 30^{\circ}$ from the horizontal. Two forces of magnitude $1 N$ each,parallel to the incline,act on the sphere,both at a distance $r = 0.5 m$ from the center of the sphere,as shown in the figure. The acceleration of the sphere down the plane is . . . $m s^{-2}$. (Take $g = 10 m s^{-2}$.)
