The Pulley is composed of two uniform disks, a smaller disk of mass 1.50 kg and radius.150 meters and a larger disk of mass 5.00 kg and radius.600 m. (A) Draw a free-body diagram for each object (pulley and weight). (B) Calculate the total moment of inertia of the pulley. (C) Determine the acceleration of the mass. (D) Determine the angular acceleration of the disk. (E) Determine the tension in the string. 15
A cord is wrapped around a hollow 25.0 kg sphere which has a diameter of 0.300 m, and which rotates (frictionlessly) about an axis through its center. A 15.0 N force is applied to the end of the cable, causing the cable to unwind and the sphere (initially at rest) to rotate. After the cable has unwound a distance 1.25 m, use work and energy methods to determine (A) the work done by the force, (B) the kinetic energy of the sphere, (C) the final rotational velocity of the sphere 16
