A uniform cylinder of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is to be pulled over a step of height \(a\) (\(a<R\)) by applying a force \(F\) at its centre '\(O\)' perpendicular to the plane through the axes of the cylinder on the edge of the step (see figure). The minimum value of \(F\) required is :

        
1. \( M g \sqrt{1-\frac{a^2}{R^2}} \)
2. \( M g \sqrt{\left(\frac{R}{R-a}\right)^2-1} \)
3. \(M g \frac{a}{R} \)
4. \( M g \sqrt{1-\left(\frac{R-a}{R}\right)^2} \)

Two uniform circular discs are rotating independently in the same direction around their common axis passing through their centres. The moment of inertia and angular velocity of the first disc are \(0.1\) kg-m2 and \(10\) rad s–1 respectively while those for the second one are \(0.2\) kg-m2 and \(5\) rad s–1 respectively. At some instant, they get stuck together and start rotating as a single system about their common axis with some angular speed. The Kinetic energy of the combined system is:
1. \(\frac{10}{3}~\text{J}\)
2. \(\frac{2}{3}~\text{J}\)
3. \(\frac{5}{3}~\text{J}\)
4. \(\frac{20}{3}~\text{J}\)
