Step 1
Point N is located on the outer edge of the cylinder, so its velocity will be the same as the linear velocity of the outer edge of the cylinder. The linear velocity of the outer edge of the cylinder can be found using the formula v = ω * r, where v is the linear Show more…

A uniform cylinder of mass m and radius r rolls on a fixed cylindrical surface of radius R. At a certain instant, the line OC has an angular velocity ω and angular acceleration α. Find: (a) the acceleration of point of contact P of the cylinder with respect to the surface. (b) the kinetic energy of the cylinder.

A cylinder of mass M, radius r, is set to rotate with angular velocity ω0 about its own axis, which is fixed. If after time t the angular velocity is ω1, find the frictional torque N on the cylinder at time t, assuming that: (a) N is constant, (b) N is proportional to ω, the instantaneous angular velocity
