      These stairs look so steep I deem it a good enough approximation, given I’ve already rounded g to 10

        If you rounded g down you might have been closer with the fact they are stairs.

          Are we assuming repeatedly hitting the stairs?

          I’ve always considered vertical and horizontal movement separately, so I thought I’d have to add even more to the approximated traveled road, not decrease it.

            Let us approximate stairs with a regular slope. Assume rolling down the stairs with minimal aditional horizontal movement other than the slope itself.

              Ohhh, right, the ground will apply the upwards-sideways reaction force
