A uniform cylinder of mass M and radius R is to be pulled over a step of height a a < R by applying a force F at its centre ' O ' perpendicular to the plane through the axes of the cylinder on the edge of the step (see figure). The minimum value of F required is :
Options
- AMg 1 - R - a R 2
- BMg R R - a 2 - 1
- CMg a R
- DMg 1 - a 2 R 2
Correct answer
A. Mg 1 - R - a R 2
Step-by-step solution
Mg 1 - R - a R 2 F R > M g c o s θ   R F > M gcos θ F > M g R 2 - ( R - a ) 2 R . ⇒ Mg 1 - R - a R 2
