Figure 1. A solid sphere on an incline.
A solid sphere of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is placed at rest at a vertical height \(H\) on a rigid incline that makes an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. The rotational inertia of a solid sphere about its center of mass is \(I_S = \dfrac{2}{5}MR^2\). The sphere is released and rolls down the incline without slipping.
