Simple hormonic motion
Question

A cylinder of mass M and radius .H is resting on a horizontal platform which is parallel to X-Y plane) with its axis fixed along the Y-axis and free to rotate about its axis. The platform is given a motion in X-direction given by x = A cos ωt. There is no slipping between the cylinder and platform. The maximum torque acting on the cyliner during its motion is

Moderate
Solution

τ=Iα=12MR2×( acceleration /R)
acceleration =ω2Asinωt  or   (acc.) max=ω2A
 (τ)max=12MR2ω2A/R=12MRAω2
