A uniform rope of mass m and length is spread out on a horizontal frictionless surface wrapping half turn around a fixed vertical frictionless cylinder of radius 1 Initially both the ends of the rope are pulled by equal forces each F in magnitude keeping both the unwrapped segments parallel to each other and equal in length as shown in the figure Suddenly pulling force at one end is removed without any change in the pulling force at the other end After how much time from removal of the pulling force at an end will the rope start losing contact with the cylinder F f
