Question

A 240-g mass hangs from a string that is wrapped around a pulley, as shown in the figure. The pulley is suspended in such a way that it can rotate freely. When the mass is released, it accelerates toward the floor as the string unwinds. Model the pulley as a uniform solid cylinder of mass 1.00 kg and radius 7.00 cm. Assume that the thread has negligible mass and does not slip or stretch as it unwinds.

 

Determine the magnitude ? of the pulley's angular acceleration.

?=
 
rad/s2

Determine the magnitude of the acceleration ? of the descending weight.

?=
 
m/s2

Calculate the magnitude of the tension ? in the string.
