A thin-walled hollow cylinder with mass m1and radius R1 rolls without slipping on theinner wall of a larger thin-walled hollow cylinder with massm2 and radius R2 >>R1. Both cylinders' axes are aligned andhorizontal, and some magical mechanism ensures this perfectfriction contact between them. Unfortunately for you, the largercylinder rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. Describethe motion including small oscillation frequencies near anyequilibria if the systems is released from rest with the innercylinder at some angle α0.
