Solution

The correct option is B

As the centre of mass of the cylinder does not accelerate, hence F=0

Fx=0,N2μkN1=0 ...(1)
Fx=0,N1μkN2mg=0 ...(2)
Solving these equations: N1=mg1+μ2k,N2=μkmg1+μ2k

The torque on the cylinder about the axis of rotation

The moment of inertia about axis of rotation 1cm=12mR2

The torque equation T=1α

Using equation ω2=ω20+2α θ, Calculate the angular displacement θ,
