6/49 The solid homogeneous cylinder weighs 300 lb and is free to rotate about the horizontal axis \( \mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O} \). If the cylinder, initially at rest, is acted upon by the \( 100-\mathrm{lb} \) force shown, calculate the horizontal component \( R \) of the force supported by each of the two symmetrically placed bearings when the \( 100-\mathrm{lb} \) force is first applied.
