A uniform sphere of radius r is placed at corner A and is given a slight clockwise

Question:

A uniform sphere of radius r is placed at corner A and is given a slight clockwise motion. Assuming that the corner is sharp and becomes slightly embedded in the sphere, so that the coefficient of static friction at A is very large, determine

(a) The angle β through which the sphere will have rotated when it loses contact with the corner,

(b) The corresponding velocity of the center of the sphere.
