Accleleration due to kinetic friction a f = M f = μ g sin θ = 2 3 g 3 = 2 g and g sin θ = 2 g . So, the cylinder will roll until it stops and then start pure rolling.
α ⇒ t 1 = I a f R = R g = g ω 0 R
Now, after this, it will start pure rolling with v 0 = ω 0 = 0
Let a f be the acceleration due to static friction from this stage. ⇒ a n e t = R α Now, g sin θ − a f ⇒ a ⇒ t 2 = I a f R 2 = 2 a f = 2 a f = 3 2 g sin θ = 3 1 g = a n e t 2 s = g sin θ 2 × 3 R ⋅ 3 = 6 g R
∴ t = t 1 + t 2 = g w 0 R + 6 g R
