detailed solution

Correct option is D

Here, mass of the cylinder, M = 50 kg Radius of the cylinder, R = 0.5 m Angular acceleration, α=2 rev s−2=2×2πrad⁡s−2=4πrads−2 Torque, τ=TRMoment of inertia of the solid cylinder about its axis,I=12MR2∴  Angular acceleration of the cylinder α=τI=TR12MR2T=MRα2=50×0.5×4π2=157N
