$A$ solid sphere is rolling without slipping on a semi-circular track of radius $R = 10 \ m$ as shown in the figure. The radius of the solid sphere is much smaller than the radius of the semi-circular track. At the lowest point,it has a velocity $v = 10 \ m/s$. To what maximum angle $\theta$ from the vertical will the sphere travel before it comes back down? Neglect the rolling friction between the sphere and the track. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
