Cylinder $P$ has most of its mass concentrated near its surface,while $Q$ has most of its mass concentrated near the axis. Which statement$(s)$ is (are) correct?

  • A
    Both cylinders $P$ and $Q$ reach the ground at the same time.
  • B
    Cylinder $P$ has larger linear acceleration than cylinder $Q$.
  • C
    Both cylinder $Q$ reaches the ground with same translational kinetic energy.
  • D
    Cylinder $Q$ reaches the ground with larger angular speed.

$A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied at the center of mass of a cylindrical object of mass $m$ and radius $R$,perpendicular to its axis as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the object and the ground is $\mu$. The center of mass of the object has an acceleration $a$. The acceleration due to gravity is $g$. Given that the object rolls without slipping,which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ For the same $F$,the value of $a$ does not depend on whether the cylinder is solid or hollow
$(B)$ For a solid cylinder,the maximum possible value of $a$ is $2 \mu g$
$(C)$ The magnitude of the frictional force on the object due to the ground is always $\mu m g$
