Rotation: Sphere over Sphere

Q- A solid sphere of radius R starts at rest on top of a semicircular track of radius S., as shown in the figure. The sphere rolls without slipping along the track until it falls off the track at point B. Point A is a vertical distance H above the ground; the height of point B is unknown. You may as…
