A basketball rolls without slipping down an incline of 15° below the horizontal. The
basketball has a mass of 0.63 kg, and a radius of 0.12 m. What is the magnitude of the force of
friction on the ball as it rolls? [You may treat the basketball as a hollow sphere with a thin wall,
for which the rotational inertia is ?=2/3??^2]
