Question

The system shown in figure consists of a circular drum, outer radius Ro, inner radius Ri, radius of gyration about mass centre k.lt stands on firm, level ground and is

initially stationary. A light,inextensible cable is wrapped around the inner portion of the drum and a force F is applied to the cable, as shown.In which direction will the drum accelerate?The coefficient of static friction µ= 0.8.Ro=0.2m, Ri=0.08m, k=0.1m. Calculate the maximum acceleration achievable before slipping occurs and express your answer inm/s?.
