Q A solid cylinder of mass m and radius r is rolling on a rough inclined plane of inclination θ. The coefficient of friction between the cylinder and incline is m. Then (A) frictional force is always mmg cos θ (B) friction is a dissipative force (C) by decreasing θ, frictional force decreases (D) friction opposes translation and supports rotation

Dear Mainak

N = mgcosx

maximum frictional force  f= μN =μmgcosx

 this friction force will not always act .it is the maximum possible frictional force.

 a= (mgsinx -f)/m

for pure rollinr  α =a/r

 

and torque f.r  = mr2/2 α

                 f  =ma/2

                    =m/2 (mgsinx -f)/m

                f = mg/3 sinx

by decresing x frictional force decreses

 so  d option is correct
