A spool of thread consists of a cylinder of radius R, = 5.3 cm with end caps of radius R, = 9.3 cm as depicted in the end view shown in the figure below. The mass of the spool, including the thread, is m = 350 g. The spool is placed on a rough, horizontal surface so that
it rolls without slipping when a force T = 0.640N acting to the right is applied to the free end of the thread. For the moment of inertia treat the spool as being a solid cylinder of radius R1, as the extended edges are thin and therefore light.
