Problem

A solid cylinder (moment of inertia I=12mr2I=\tfrac{1}{2}mr^{2}) rests on an incline that makes an angle of 25∘25^{\circ} with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is negligible, but static friction determines whether the cylinder rolls without slipping. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction μs,min⁡\mu_{s,\min} required for the cylinder to roll without slipping as it moves down the incline? a) 0.230.23 b) 0.470.47 c) 0.160.16 d) 0.140.14
