Question: Figure P12.60 shows a vertical force applied tangentially to a uniform cylinder of weight Fg. The coefficient of static friction between the cylinder and all

Figure P12.60 shows a vertical force applied tangentially to a uniform cylinder of weight Fg. The coefficient of static friction between the cylinder and all surfaces is 0.500. In terms of Fg find the maximum force P that can be applied that does not cause the cylinder to rotate. (Hint: When the cylinder is on the verge of slipping, both friction forces are at their maximum values. Why?)
