Problem

A thin-walled hollow cylinder (moment of inertia I=MR2I = MR^{2}) is released from rest on an incline that makes an angle of 20∘20^{\circ} with the horizontal. Find the minimum coefficient of static friction required between the cylinder and the incline so that the cylinder rolls without slipping. Give a numerical value.
