Jan 9, 2022 at 20:01 comment added Martin CR is the cylinder rotating at a constant rate? If so, unless I've misunderstood, I would say that that the tangential component of 'f' would be zero
Jan 9, 2022 at 19:52 comment added sonod4 I'm assuming a cylinder rolling without slipping. Btw the vector product should be Rf since they're perpendicular, and f can't be 0 since otherwise the motion would be a cylinder sliding with no rolling.

Jan 9, 2022 at 19:47 comment added Martin CR Or were you considering the initial state in which the cylinder has an initial linear velocity but no rotation?
Jan 9, 2022 at 19:45 comment added Martin CR It seems to me that the acceleration of the contact point on the cylinder (due to its rotation) is radial, whereas your force vector 'f' is tangential; so the vector product is zero - as indeed is the magnitude of 'f'.
