A cylinder of mass $M = 30 \text{ kg}$ and radius $R = 1 \text{ m}$ rolls against a step of height
$h = 0.5 \text{ m}$, as shown in the figure (not at scale). When a horizontal force of
increasing magnitude $F$ is applied to the top of the cylinder, the cylinder remains
at rest up to a threshold value $F_{thr.}$. What is the value of the normal force (not
drawn in the figure) when the cylinder starts rolling over the step assuming that
the cylinder does not slide on the edge?
