JEE Advanced · Physics · 8. Rotational Motion

A horizontal forceFis applied at the centre of mass of a cylindrical object of massmand radiusR, perpendicular to its axis as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the object and the ground isμ. The centre of mass of the object has an accelerationa. The acceleration due to gravity isg. Given that the object rolls without slipping, which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct?

  1. A For the same F, the value of a does not depend on whether the cylinder is solid or hollow.
  2. B For a solid cylinder, the maximum possible value of a is 2μg.
  3. C The magnitude of the frictional force on the object due to the ground is always μmg.
  4. D For a thin-walled hollow cylinder, a=F2m.
