force F as shown in the figure.

Question 5 Explanation:

Weigh = W
Note:
(i) When the cylinder is about to make out of the curb, it will loose its contact at point A, only contact will be at it B.
(ii) At verge of moving out of curb, Roller will be in equation under W, F and contact force from B and these three forces has to be concurrent so contact force from B will pass through C.
(iii) Even the surfaces are rough but there will be no friction at B for the said condition.

Question 6 Explanation:

For pure rolling

\begin{array}{l} v_{P}=v=(P R) \omega \quad \ldots(i)\\ v_{Q}=2 v=(Q R) \omega \quad \ldots(ii) \end{array}
