    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
