An oversized yo yo is made from two identical solid disks


an oversized yo yo is made from two identical solid disks eachof mass M=2.00kg and radius R=10.0cm. the two disks arejoined by a solid cylinder of radius r=4.00cm and massm-1.00kg.

a) what is the moment of inertia of the system? give asymbolic answer

b) what torque does gravity exert on the system with respect tothe given axis?

c) write an equation for the angular acceleration α interms of the translational acceleration a and radius r

d) eliminate α from the rotational second law withthe expression found in part (c) and find a symbolic expression forthe acceleration a in terms of m, M, g, r and R

e) what is the mumeric value for the system's acceleration?

f) what is the tension in the string?

g) how long does it take the system to drop 1.00m from rest?
