Thanks a lot! I think I am there:
In the center of mass, I have
1) M_T = M - F_a R
2) F_a = m a_G
3) M_T= I_G dw/dt
where M_T is the total torque and the friction is the only force parallel to the plane. I also have
4) a_G = dw / dt R,
since the cylinder is rolling without slipping...
Homework Statement
A cylinder of mass m and radius R is set on a plane, with large enough friction coefficient to ensure at any moment rolling without slipping. A constant torque is applied along the axis passing through the center of mass (G) of the cylinder and perpendicular to the basis of...
