A small sphere of mass \(m\) and radius \(r\) slides down the smooth surface of a large hemispherical bowl of radius \(R\). If the sphere starts sliding from rest, the total kinetic energy of the sphere at the lowest point \(A\) of the bowl will be [given, moment of inertia of sphere \(\left.=\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{mr}^2\right]\)

  1. A \(\quad m g(R-r)\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{10} m g(R-r)\)
