To mop-clean a floor, a cleaning machine presses a circular mop of radius R

vertically down with a total force F and rotates it with a constant angular speed
about its axis. If the force F is distributed uniformly over the mop and if
coefficient of friction between the mop and the floor is μ, the torque, applied
by the machine on the mop is :
• (1*) 2/3 μFR (2) μFR/3 (3) μFR/2 (4) μFR/6

2. A homogeneous solid cylindrical roller of radius R and mass M is pulled on a

cricket pitch by a horizontal force. Assuming rolling without slipping, angular
acceleration of the cylinder is:

3. A thin circular plate of mass M and radius R has its density varying as (r) = 
0

r with  as constant and r is the distance from its center. The moment of Inertia
0

of the circular plate about an axis perpendicular to the plate and passing
through its edge is I= a MR . The value of the coefficient a is:
