A 5 kg cylindrical reel with a radius of .6 m and a frictionless axle starts from rest and speeds up uniformly as a 3 kg bucket falls into a well, making a light rope unwind from the reel. The moment of inertia of a cylinder is I = 1/2MR^2. The linear acceleration of the bucket is:
a. 9.8 m/s^2
b. 6.3 m/s^2
c. 5.4 m/s^2
d. 3.7 m/s^2For the inertia for the cylinder, I got:
I = 1/2(5 kg)(.6 m)^2 = .9 kg*m^2
I don't know what to do next though. Any help would be appreciated. Please go into detail with every step so I understand what you mean, as I need to show my steps and work. Thanks.
