Chapter 13, Problem 63P
A solid cylinder of mass M and radius R is mounted on an axle through its center. The axle is attached to a horizontal spring of constant k, and the cylinder rolls back and forth without slipping (Fig. 13.33). Write the statement of energy conservation for this system, and differentiate it to obtain an equation analogous to Equation 13.3 (see Problem 62). Comparing your result with Equation 13.3, determine the angular frequency of the motion.
