A small block of mass m is in contact with the inner wall of a large hollow cylinder. Assume the coefficient of static friction between the object and the wall of the cylinder is μs. Initially, the cylinder is at rest, and the block is held in place by a peg supporting its weight. The cylinder starts rotating about its center axis, as shown in the figure, with an angular acceleration of α. Determine the minimum time interval after the cylinder begins to rotate before the peg can be removed without the block sliding against the wall.
