A uniform solid sphere of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is placed on a rough horizontal surface. A massless string is wrapped around the sphere and is pulled with a force \(F\). The string leaves the sphere tangentially and pulls forward at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal. What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the sphere and the surface required for the sphere to start rolling without slipping?
