A massless rope is tossed over a wooden dowel of radius r in order to lift a heavy object of weight W off of the floor, as shown in Fig. The coefficient of sliding friction between the rope and the dowel is μ. Show that the minimum down- ward pull on the rope necessary to lift the object is (Hint: This problem required techniques from integral calculus.)
