2012 F = ma Exam — Question 14

14. A uniform cylinder of radius a originally has a weight of 80 N. After an off-axis cylinder hole at 2a/5 was drilled through it, it weighs 65 N. The axes of the two cylinders are parallel and their centers are at the same height. 2a/5 a A force T is applied to the top of the cylinder horizontally. In order to keep the cylinder is at rest, the magnitude of the force is closest to:
