The figure below shows a beautifully designed truck accelerating from rest to the left with an acceleration a=0.5m/s². On top of the truck is a 1 ton concrete cylinder, with an internal radius of 50 cm and a wall of 10 cm thick. An observer standing on the street observes that the cylinder does not have a translational motion and rolls without slipping. Draw a diagram of forces acting on the cylinder and tell what is the value of the friction force between the cylinder and the truck.
