I am new in laTeX, I am trying to draw this picture. I do not know how to start.

How to draw it?

If you are willing to use the [3dtools library](https://github.com/marmotghost/tikz-3dtools), then you could access a couple of features that allow one to block out certain paths in order to make some objects appear to be behind or in front of other objects. Internally this just uses some clips but all the ordering is achieved with a one-liner

\tikzset{3d/draw ordered paths={bplane,cyl,L,R,M,tplane}}

which instructs Ti*k*Z to draw the bottom plane behind the halo of the cylinder, which in turn is behind some vertical lines, which are behind the top plane.

\documentclass[border=2mm,tikz]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{3dtools}% https://github.com/marmotghost/tikz-3dtools
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[line cap=round,line join=round,same bounding box=A,
3d/install view={phi=20,theta=70},
declare function={h=3;r=1.6;a=2.5;alpha=-90;}]
\path (0,0,0) coordinate[label=below:{$O'$}] (O')
(0,0,h) coordinate[label=above:{$O$}] (O)
({r*cos(alpha)},{r*sin(alpha)},0) coordinate[label=below:{$M'$}] (M')
({r*cos(alpha)},{r*sin(alpha)},h) coordinate[label=above:{$M$}] (M);
\draw[3d/hidden] (O)	-- (O');
\path[save named path=M] (M) -- (M');
\begin{scope}[canvas is xy plane at z=0,radius=r]
\path[shift={(O')},save named path=bplane] (-a,-a) rectangle (a,a);
\path[shift={(O)},save named path=tplane] (-a,-a) rectangle (a,a);
\draw[shift={(O')},3d/hidden] (\pgfkeysvalueof{/tikz/3d/phi}:r) coordinate (L)
arc[start angle=\pgfkeysvalueof{/tikz/3d/phi},
end	angle=\pgfkeysvalueof{/tikz/3d/phi}+180] coordinate (R);
\draw[shift={(O')},3d/visible] (L)
arc[start angle=\pgfkeysvalueof{/tikz/3d/phi},
end	angle=\pgfkeysvalueof{/tikz/3d/phi}-180];
\draw[3d/visible] (O) circle;
\end{scope}
\begin{scope}[3d/screen coords]
\path[save named path=L] (L) -- (L|-O);
\path[save named path=R] (R) -- (R|-O);
\path[save named path=cyl] (L) -- (L|-O) -- (R|-O) -- (R) -- cycle;
\end{scope}
\tikzset{3d/ordered paths/.cd,cyl/.style={draw=none}}
\tikzset{3d/draw ordered paths={bplane,cyl,L,R,M,tplane}}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
