    Cylinder rolling on accelerating plank without slipping

    Hi Delphi, Thanks for your reply. Your deduction is right, but we have to express the coefficient in terms of a0 (the acceleration of the plank) and not just a (the acceleration of the cylinder ON the plank - which is due to rotation)

    Cylinder rolling on accelerating plank without slipping

    1. Homework Statement This is a relatively simple problem in classical mechanics, but my attempt at a solution seems to conflict with the result my teacher announced. The problem is as follows: A homogeneous cylinder with mass M and radius R lies at rest on a plank. The plank is then...

    Maximum tangential acceleration on a banked curved path

    A car is driving along a curved path (with a given radius) that is angled relative to the surface of the earth. The speed is of such magnitude that the friction force between car and road has a component directed downward the incline, however the friction does not have its maximum value. (So...
