Problem

A string is wrapped around the equator of a solid sphere of mass

1.5\,\text{kg}

and radius

0.12\,\text{m}

. The string is pulled horizontally with a constant tension of

15\,\text{N}

across a level surface. Assuming the sphere rolls without slipping, determine its linear acceleration. Provide your answer with units.
