A solid sphere of radius $R$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal ' $F$ ' is applied at height ' $h$ ' from the lowest point. For the maximum acceleration of the centre of mass, which is correct?
$h=R$
$h=2 R$
$h=0$
No relation between $h$ and $R$
Solution
Smooth surface is given so rolling motion is not possible. Sphere will perform linear motion.
