Exercise 4
Block hanging from a cylinder
Theory used: Equation of rotational motion about a fixed axisMoments of inertia of uniform bodies
A uniform solid cylinder of mass and radius rotates without friction about its own horizontal axis. An inextensible string of negligible mass, wound around the cylinder without slipping, supports a block of mass . Compute the acceleration of the block and the tension of the string.
