- A thin light string is wrapped around the outer rim of a uniform hollow cylinder of mass 4.75 kgkg having inner and outer radii as shown in the figure (Figure 1). The cylinder is then released from rest. a.) How far must the cylinder fall before its center is moving at 6.78 m/sm/s? Express your answer in meters. b.) If you just dropped this cylinder without any string, how fast would its center be moving when it had fallen the distance in part A? Express your answer in meters per second.arrow_forwardLet’s pretend that the Earth’s orbit is circular and that it takes 365 days to circle the sun. What is the angular speed of the Earth in radians per minute? Do not simplify your answer at all. Just show your work.arrow_forwardShow all steps. (see image) 1.) A uniform solid cylinder of mass 10 kg can rotate about a frictionless axle through its center O, as shown in the cross-sectional view in the figure. A rope wrapped around the outer radius R1 = 1.0 m exerts a force of magnitude F1 = 5.0 N to the right. A second rope wrapped around another section of radius R2 = 0.50 m exerts a force of magnitude F2 = 6.0 N downward. a)What is the angular acceleration of the cylinder? b) How many radians does the cylinder rotate through in the first 5.0 seconds, if it starts from rest?arrow_forward
