A weight with mass mw=150 gmw=150 g is tied to a piece of thread wrapped around a spool, which is suspended in such a way that it can rotate freely. When the weight is released, it accelerates toward the floor as the thread unwinds.
Assume that the spool can be treated as a uniform solid cylinder of radius R=3.00 cmR=3.00 cm and mass Ms=200 gMs=200 g . Find the magnitude aa of the acceleration of the weight as it descends. Assume the thread has negligible mass and does not slip or stretch as it unwinds.
Use g=9.81 m/s2.g=9.81 m/s2.
Find the acceleration? and tension in the thread?
The mass is connected with a string and wrapped around the spool
So here we can say that the force on the mass is due to weight and the tension in string so as per the force equation we have:
