A uniform solid sphere of mass M and radius R is lying on a rough horizontal plane. A constant force F=Mg acts vertically downwards at point P such that the line OP makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal as shown in the figure. The minimum value of the coefficient of friction μ so that sphere performs pure rolling, is

The correct answer is: 27

Writing torque about the bottommost point,

4Mg×R2=75MR2aR

a=10g7

f=μ5Mg=Ma

5μg=10g7μ=27
