Rolling Motion

A uniform solid cylindrical roller of mass 'm' is being pulled on a horizontal surface with force F parallel to the surface and applied at its centre. If the acceleration of the cylinder is 'a' and it is rolling without slipping then the value of 'F' is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. F−f=maF - f = ma and fR=12mR2⋅aR⇒f=12mafR = \frac{1}{2}mR^2\cdot\dfrac{a}{R} \Rightarrow f = \frac{1}{2}ma.
  2. F=ma+12ma=32maF = ma + \frac{1}{2}ma = \frac{3}{2}ma.
  3. So the answer is (c) 32ma\frac{3}{2}ma.
