**Q7) A uniform cylinder has mass m = 1.95 kg and radius r = 1.96 m.**
The cylinder touches both a solid wall and the ground as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the cylinder and both the ground and the solid wall is \(\mu_k = 0.205\).
A massless string is wound around the cylinder. A horizontal force of magnitude \( F = 20.9 \, \text{N} \) is applied to the string and it unwinds with the string not slipping. The cylinder is rotating around its central axis (denoted by an \( x \) in the figure), but otherwise not moving.
Below is the diagram illustrating the problem setup:
- The cylinder (represented as a blue circle) has its radius marked as \( r \) and its central axis is denoted by \( x \).
- The cylinder makes contact with a solid vertical wall and a horizontal ground.
- An arrow labeled \( \vec{F} \) points horizontally to the right, illustrating the direction of the applied force.
**Questions:**
a) Calculate the magnitude of the normal force that the wall exerts on the cylinder.
b) Calculate the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the cylinder.
### Explanation of the Diagram:
- **Cylinder**: Depicted as a blue circle with radius \( r \).
- **Central Axis (x)**: Marked within the cylinder.
- **Applied Force (\( \vec{F} \))**: Shown as a horizontal arrow to the right, indicating the direction of the force applied via the string.
- **Contact with Wall and Ground**: Illustrates the points of contact where friction forces are active due to the wall and the ground.
In this problem, students are asked to analyze the dynamics of a cylinder under the influence of a horizontal force while considering the effects of friction and calculate the corresponding normal force and angular acceleration.
