A uniform sphere rolls down an incline. (a) What must be the incline angle if the linear acceleration of the center of the sphere is to be 0.133g? (b) For this angle, what would be the acceleration of a frictionless block sliding down the incline?

(b)
On a frictionless surface, the block does not experience any torque. Therefore, the block does not have any angular acceleration but the linear acceleration which can be calculated using the same equation of motion as that used for the sphere,
