    $\frac{\mathrm{g} \sin \theta}{1+\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{M R}^2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mathrm{g} \sin \theta}{1+\frac{\mathrm{M R}^2}{\mathrm{I}}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mathrm{g} \sin \theta}{1-\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{MR}^2}}$
  • D

The correct answer is:
$\frac{\mathrm{g} \sin \theta}{1+\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{M R}^2}}$
$\mathrm{M g \sin \theta-f=M a}$
$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f R=I \frac{a}{R}}\\
& \Rightarrow a=\frac{g \sin \theta}{\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{M}\mathrm{R^2}}\right)}
\end{aligned}$
