A solid cylinder with m and mass
kg is placed such that it is in contact with the vertical and a horizontal surface as shown in Figure. The coefficient of static friction is
1/3) for both the surfaces. Find the distance
(in CM) from the centre of the cylinder at which a force
should be applied vertically so that the cylinder just starts rotating in anticlockwise direction

For equilibrium of the cylinder in the horizontal direction
(i)
In the vertical direction,
(ii)
Solving these two equation with N,
kg and
=1/3, we get
and
Now,
m
