$F-f =m a p \\$

$F-f =m \, 2 p \\$

$2p =\frac{F-f}{m}$

for the cylinder

$f+f^{\prime} =M a_{C \cdot M} \\$

N =M g

for no slipping between the plank and the cylinder.

$a_{p}=a_{c.m}+r \alpha \\$

$a_{p}=2 a_{c \cdot M} \\$

$\frac{f-f}{m}=2\left[\frac{f+f^{\prime}}{M}\right]$

$\because m=1 \mathrm{~kg}, \quad M=2 \mathrm{~kg} \\$

$\frac{F-f}{1}=\frac{\not 2}{\not 2}\left[f+f^{\prime}\right] \\$

$F=2 f+f^{\prime}$

$\because f={\mu mg}$

$f^{\prime}=\mu(m+M) g \\$

$F =2 \mu m g+\mu(m+M) g \\$

$F =2 \mu g\left[m+\frac{m}{2}+\frac{M}{2}\right] \\$

$F =2 \mu g\left[\frac{3 m}{2}+\frac{M}{2}\right]=\mu g(3 m+M) \\$

$F =\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5=25 \mathrm{~N}$
