Detailed Solution

After impact, the force of friction will act in a direction opposite to that of the motion. The body will retain its initial angular motion (clockwise). The force of friction will cause linear retardation, reducing v. It will also cause an anticlockwise angular acceleration, which will reduce ω to zero and then introduce anticlockwise ω till rolling without slipping begins. F will then disappear.
