Homework Statement
Consider a homogenous ball constrained to move on a horizontal plane.
Show that when the ball is rolling without slipping on the plane, then the total horizontal force on the ball must be zero.
HINT: Consider the ball as a rigid body and suitably combine the equations describing the rotation with the rolling constraints.
