Q.

A uniform solid cylinder of mass  'm'  rests on two horizontal planks. A light thread is wound on the cylinder. The hanging end of the thread is pulled vertically down with a constant force F,  which still does not bring any sliding of the cylinder. The coefficient of friction between the cylinder and planks is equal to  μ. If the maximum acceleration amax(inm/s2)  of the axis of cylinder rolling over the planks is a0,  then what is the value of  34a0? (Assume μ=1/3 and take  g=10m/s2

Here friction on the cylinder through both the planks is static friction 
Question Image
N1+N2=F+mg    .....(1) 
f1+f2=ma    .....2 
FR(f1+f2)R=mR22α    ............(3) 
  a=αR............(4)
from (2), (3) & (4)
    f1+f2m=F(f1+f2)m/2 
    f1+f22=F(f1+f2) 
    f1+f2=2F3    ......(3) 
Using eqn. (1) & (2)
2F3=ma 
 Using eqn. (1) & (3)
2F3=(F+mg)μ 
F=mg 
        f1+f2=2F3=maa=2g3=203
