Answer:
Correct Answer: 82.(d)
Solution:
$$ \begin{aligned} a & =R \alpha \\ \therefore \quad \frac{2 k x-f}{M} & =R \frac{f R}{\frac{1}{2} M R^{2}} \end{aligned} $$
Solving this equation, we get
$$ \begin{aligned} f & =\frac{2 k x}{3} \\ \therefore \quad\left|F _{\text {net }}\right| & =2 k x-f=2 k x-\frac{2 k x}{3}=\frac{4 k x}{3} \end{aligned} $$
This is opposite to displacement.
$$ \therefore \quad F _{\text {net }}=-\frac{4 k x}{3} $$
