$A$ tennis ball (treated as a hollow spherical shell) starting from $O$ rolls down a hill. At point $A$,the ball becomes airborne,leaving at an angle of $30^\circ$ with the horizontal. The ball strikes the ground at $B$. What is the value of the distance $AB$ (in $m$)? (Moment of inertia of a spherical shell of mass $m$ and radius $R$ about its diameter is $I = \frac{2}{3}mR^2$).

  • A
    $1.87$
  • B
    $2.08$
  • C
    $1.57$
  • D
