A uniform rectangular plank of mass M, length L, width 2d, and thickness 2a is balanced horizontally on a fixed cylinder of radius R, with its length parallel to the axis of the cylinder. Assuming that the plank rolls without slipping on the cylinder, find the condition for stable equilibrium of the plank and the frequency of small oscillations. The moment of inertia of the plank about an axis parallel to the cylinder axis and passing through its center of mass is 1 Iom Ian = M (d + a*).
