Homework Statement
A cylinder of known mass M, radius R, and rotational inertia I is placed on an inclined plane with angle θ. A string is wound around the cylinder and pulled up with a tension T parallel to the inclined plane. The coefficient of static friction is large enough to prevent slipping.
a) Find the tension T needed to keep the cylinder in equilibrium
b) Find the acceleration of the cylinder if the tension is known and is different from T.
