Homework Statement
I have a cylinder of mass M and radius R, it stands over a platform of mass m; the platform stands over a no-friction floor. There is a given force F on the platform, directed horizontally on the right. The coefficient of static friction between the cylinder and the platform is μ. The cylinder has a pure roll motion relatively to the platform. I want to know
a) the accelerations of the platform and of the cylinder.
b) The value of the friction force
c) The maximum force F to be applied to the platform for having a pure roll of the cylinder
I can't set the equations of motion properly, can someone help me? Thanks
