The Attempt at a Solution
v(of rod and translational vel of cylinder) = L * (dαlpha/dt)
Is the angular velocity of the cylinder the same as the angular velocity of...
Homework Statement
A cylinder of mass m2 and radius r rolls without slipping over a cylindrical surface. It is driven (like an inverted pendulum) by a uniform rod of mass m1 and length L. Its instantaneous position as a function of time is determined by the angular displacement...
