Homework Statement
Another question with the same idea, These questions bother me a lot. Hopefully you can help me figure why they solve it this way.

it said in the question that U = 0.6 without saying if it is static or kinetic, However It is static because we are in a static course.
It wants P that makes the cylinder about to slip.
Homework Equations
F net = 0
net Torque = 0
The Attempt at a Solution
Now my explanation for the diagram was, That we could have rolling without slipping ( rotates about B and have maximum static friction at A) but that again makes it 4 unknowns. But he said that he wants the cylinder to be about to slip. So B must have static friction that is maximum and A must have maximum static friction because If for it to move it must overcome that friction. Is this right?
