A small body is placed on the top of a smooth sphere of radius R initially at rest. Then the sphere is imparted a constant acceleration a=g2 in the horizontal direction and the body begins sliding down. If the angle is θ0 between the vertical and the radius vector drawn from the centre of the sphere to the break-off point, calculate cosθ0 (Best approximation)
