A football of radius is kept on a hole of radius made on a plank kept horizontally. One end of the plank is now lifted so that it gets tilted making an angle from the horizontal as shown in the figure below. The maximum value of so that the football does not start rolling down the plank satisfies (figure is schematic and not drawn to scale)



Important Questions on Rotational Motion
A small roller of diameter has an axle of diameter (see figure below on the left). It is on a horizontal floor and a meter scale is positioned horizontally on its axle with one edge of the scale on top of the axle (see figure on the right). The scale is now pushed slowly on the axle so that it moves without slipping on the axle, and the roller starts rolling without slipping. After the roller has moved the position of the scale will look like (figures are schematic and not drawn to scale)
