Consider a disc of mass m and radius R placed on a rough plank of mass M which in turn is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.Now plank is pulled by a force F and disc starts to roll on the plank. if there is no friction anywhere then, find friction force acting on the body (acting on disc)

For plank
`F-f=Ma_(1)`……….`(ii)`
Applying torque equation on disc about centre of mass
`tau=l alpha`
`impliesfR=(mR^(2))/(2)alpha`........`(iii)`
For pure rolling
`a_(1)=a+Ralpha`.......`(iv)`
Solving the four equations, we get
`f=(Fm)/(m+3M)`, `alpha=(2F)/((m+3M)R)`
