Torque
Question

A cylinder of radius R is spinned and then placed on an incline having coefficient of friction μ = tanθ (θ is the angle of incline). The cylinder continues to spin without falling for time :

Moderate
Solution

Frictional force = mg sinθ, so net force along the plane = 0
torque τ=mgsinθ×R= opposing the motion. Use
ω=ω0+αt to find t.
