The equations for an object rolling down an inclined plane without slipping are:

·       Force equation: mg sinθ - f_s = ma

·       Torque equation: f_s R = Iα

Since a = αR, we can write f_s = Iα/R = Ia/R².
Substituting this into the force equation:
mg sinθ - Ia/R² = ma
mg sinθ = a (m + I/R²)
a = (mg sinθ
