$A$ string is wound around a hollow cylinder of mass $5\, kg$ and radius $0.5\, m$. If the string is now pulled with a horizontal force of $40\, N$,and the cylinder is rolling without slipping on a horizontal surface (see figure),then the angular acceleration of the cylinder will be ......... $rad/s^2$. (Neglect the mass and thickness of the string)

$A$ force $F$ is applied at the centre of a disc of mass $M$. The minimum value of the coefficient of friction of the surface for pure rolling is:

$A$ solid cylinder having radius $R$ and length $L$ is slipping on a rough horizontal plane. At time $t = 0$ the cylinder has a translational velocity $v_0 = 49 \text{ m/s}$, perpendicular to its axis and a rotational velocity $v_0/4R$ about the centre. The time taken by the cylinder to start rolling is . . . . . . seconds. (coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu_K = 0.25$ and $g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$)

Consider a point $P$ at the contact point of a wheel on the ground,which rolls on the ground without slipping. Find the displacement of point $P$ when the wheel completes half of a rotation (given the radius of the wheel is $1 \ m$).

$A$ solid sphere rolls without slipping on a rough surface and the centre of mass has a constant speed $v_0$. If the mass of the sphere is $m$ and its radius is $R$,then find the angular momentum of the sphere about the point of contact $P$.
