$A$ solid uniform sphere having a mass $M$,radius $R$ and moment of inertia of $\frac{2}{5} M R^2$ rolls down a plane inclined at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal starting from rest. The coefficient of static friction between the sphere and the plane is $\mu_s$. Then,

  • A
    the sphere will always roll without slipping
  • B
    the sphere will always slide
  • C
    the sphere will roll without slipping only,if $\theta \leq \sin^{-1} \frac{7 \mu_s}{2}$
  • D
    the sphere will roll without slipping only,if $\theta \leq \tan^{-1} \frac{7 \mu_s}{2}$
