A solid wheel with mass M, radius R, and rotational inertia MR2/2, rolls without sliding on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force F is applied to the axle and the center of mass has an acceleration a. The magnitudes of the applied force F and the frictional force f of the surface, respectively, are:

1. F=Ma,f=0
2. F=Ma,f=Ma/2
3. F=2Ma,f=Ma
4. F=2Ma,f=Ma/2
5. F =3Ma/2, f =Ma/2
