A cylinder and a variable mass are arranged on a fixed wedge, using a light string and a massless pulley. There is enough friction between the cylinder and the wedge to prevent any slipping.


For a certain value of , the cylinder starts to roll down the plane. In this situation, the magnitude of the frictional force on the cylinder by the wedge will be greater than the tension in the string.
