A uniform cylinder of mass M and radius R is to be pulled over a step of height a (a < R) by applying a force F at its centre 'O' perpendicular to the plane through the axes of the cylinder on the edge of the step (see figure). The minimum value of F required is :
(1) $Mg\sqrt{1-\left({R-a\over R}\right)^2}$
(2) $Mg\sqrt{1-{a^2\over R^2}}$
(3) $Mg\sqrt{\left({R\over R-a}\right)-1}$
(4) $Mg{a\over R}$
