A cord is wrapped around a pulley of diameter 0.320 m with the free end tied to a weight. That weight is allowed to descend at constant acceleration. A stopwatch is started at the instant when the weight reaches a speed of 0.023 m/s. At a time of t = 1.50 s, the weight has dropped an additional 0.080 m. Calculate the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of any point on the circumference of the pulley at t = 4.0 s.
Calculate the magnitude of the tangential acceleration of any point on the circumference of the pulley.
