$A$ spool consists of a cylinder of radius $R_1$ wrapped with thread,and its end caps have radius $R_2$ as shown in the end view illustrated in the figure. The mass of the spool,including the thread,is $m$,and its moment of inertia about an axis through its center is $I$. The spool is placed on a rough horizontal surface so that it rolls without slipping. When a force $\vec{T}$ acting to the right is applied to the free end of the thread,the friction force exerted by the surface on the spool is given by:

  • A
    $f = \left( \frac{I + mR_1R_2}{I + mR_2^2} \right)T$,towards right
  • B
    $f = \left( \frac{I + mR_1R_2}{I + mR_2^2} \right)T$,towards left
  • C
    $f = \left( \frac{I - mR_1R_2}{I + mR_2^2} \right)T$,towards right
  • D
    $f = \left( \frac{I - mR_1R_2}{I + mR_2^2} \right)T$,towards left
