A simplified bicycle of mass M has wheelbase w. Its center of mass is midway between the tyre contact points at height h. Air resistance is ignored. Case 1: the bicycle accelerates rightward with acceleration a and both tyres roll purely. Case 2: it moves rightward but slows with acceleration magnitude a while both tyres skid; coefficient of sliding friction at each tyre is µ.

A small roller of diameter 20 cm has an axle of diameter 10 cm (see figure below on the left). It is on a horizontal floor and a meter scale is positioned horizontally on its axle with one edge of the scale on top of the axle (see figure on the right). The scale is now pushed slowly on the axle so that it moves without slipping on the axle, and the roller starts rolling without slipping. After the roller has moved 50 cm, the position of the scale will look like (figures are schematic and not drawn to scale)-
