A string is wrapped around a uniform solid cylinder of radius, r as shown in the figure (Figure 1). The cylinder can rotate freely about its axis. The loose end of the string is attached to a block. The block and cylinder each have mass m. Note that the positive y direction is downward and counterclockwise torques are positive. Find the magnitudeof the angular acceleration of the cylinder as the block descends.
of the angular acceleration of the cylinder as the block descends.
