    A homogeneous cylinder of mass M and radius R is pulled on a horizontal plane by a horizontal force p acting through its mass center. Assuming rolling without slipping the angular acceleration of the cylinder is

    A) \[\frac{3F}{2MR}\]                

    B) \[\frac{2F}{3MR}\]    

    C)      \[\frac{F}{2MR}\]      

    D)      \[\frac{3F}{4MR}\]    

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In case of rolling without slipping point of contact P on ground is at rest. Hence the cylinder will rotate about P with angular acceleration: \[\alpha =\frac{{{\tau }_{p}}}{{{I}_{p}}}=\frac{F.R}{\frac{3}{2}M\,{{R}^{2}}}=\frac{2E}{3MR}\] Hence, the correction option is (b).
