A spool of inner radius ' ' and outer radius '
' is lying on an inclined plane of inclination angle '
' as shown in the figure. A thread of negligible mass is wound on the spool and its other end is attached to an object of mass '
'. If the mass of the spool is '
', then the angle for which the centre of gravity will remain at rest will be.
