A bowling ball rolls without slipping up a ramp that slopes upward at an angle β to the horizontal. Treat the ball as a uniform, solid sphere, ignoring the finger holes.
Part A:
What is the acceleration of the center of mass of the ball?
Express your answer in terms of the variable β and appropriate constants.
Part B:
What minimum coefficient of static friction is needed to prevent slipping?
Express your answer in terms of the variable β and appropriate constants.
