Suppose m = 332 g (including the mass holder) is released from rest. The pulley has diameter d = 3.03 cm, and you measure the angular acceleration of the pulley α= 0.731 rad/s2. Assume
- There is no kinetic friction anywhere.
- The string does not slip on the pulley.
- The string is always perpendicular to the diameter of the pulley.
a) Calculate the linear acceleration of m as it falls.
b) Calculate the tension in the string.
c) Calculate the torque exerted by the string on the pulley.
d) Calculate the moment of inertia of the system.
