A 10-m plank with a mass of 80 kg is being moved by rolling it over two cylindrical logs, each with a mass of 10 kg and a radius of 20 cm, placed 2 m from either end of the plank

As the plank is pushed, the logs roll on the ground without slipping, and the plank does not slip on the rollers. A force of 250 N is applied to the plank. What is the speed of the plank after it has moved 2 m, starting from rest? A) 1.87 m/s B) 2.53 m/s C) 3.43 m/s D) 3.54 m/s E) 2.37 m/s
