Two metal disks, one with radius r1 = 2.45 cm and mass m1 = 0.900 kg and the other with radius r2 = 5.00 cm and mass m2 = 1.60 kg, are welded together and mounted on a frictionless axis through their common center. a light string is wrapped around the edge of the smaller disk and a 1.60 kg block is suspended from the free end of the string. (a) what is the magnitude of the downward acceleration of the block after it is released? (b) repeat the calculation of part (a), this time with the string wrapped around the edge of the larger disk.

part (a)

Part (b)

Explanation:

Given,

Let I be the moment of inertia of the both disk after the welding,

part (a)

A block of mass m is hanging on the smaller disk,

From the f.b.d. of the block,

Let 'a' be the acceleration of the block and 'T' be the tension in the string.

Net torque on the smaller disk,

From eqn (1) and (2), we get,

part (b)

In this case the mass is rapped on the larger disk,

From the above expression of the acceleration of the block, acceleration is only depended on the radius of the rotating disk,

Let '' be the acceleration of the block in the second case,

From the above expression,

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.

answer: a. same unit
