A classical mechanics problem by Vinay Kumar

Classical Mechanics Level 1

Fig shows a vertical force applied tangentially to a uniform cylinder of weight Fg. Coefficient of static friction k=0.500 is present on both surfaces. In terms of Fg ,find the maximum force P that can be applied so that the cylinder does not rotate.

(3/8)Fg (1/9)Fg (7/9)Fg none of these

I assumed it. If the direction is wrong then the values will tell us by coming out to be negative.
