Detailed Solution

The cylinder has a tendency to rotate anticlockwise , this will be prevented by upward frictional force acting on the cylinder .

Therefore , T cosα+f=mg  ………………(1)

Tsinα=N             …………………………….(2)

TR=fR                 

T=fμN       ……………………………………(3)

T cosα+T=mg

T=mg1+cosα<mg
