A cylinder of mass M, radius R 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=acosωt There is no slipping between the cylinder and platform. The maximum torque acting on the cylinder during its motion is

Detailed Solution
The motion of platform is described by equationx=acosωt∴ velocity =dxdt=−aωsinωt and acceleration =d2xdt2=−aω2cosωtSO, amax=aω2Now, τmax=Iαmax=IamaxR=12MR2aω2R=12MRaω2
