The correct answer is: 1009mg

Using Work-Energy Theorem

7mgR=12mv2+1225mr2×ω2

since the sphere is rolling without slipping  v=

7mgR=12× 75mr2× v2r2

v2=10gR

at point P, we can consider sphere as a point object doing circular motion in a circle of the radius (R-r) with velocity v,

Hence at point P

N=mv2R-r=10mgRR-R10=10mgR9R10   ( given r=R10 )

or N=1009mg
