A uniform solid cylinder of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A massless string is attached to the cylinder and is wrapped around it. The string is then pulled with a constant force \(F\), causing the cylinder to rotate about its center of mass. After the cylinder has rotated through an angle \(\theta\), what is the total kinetic energy of the cylinder in terms of \(F\), \(R\), and \(\theta\)?
