    Expressing moment of inertia in terms of m,a,r and g

    I believe I solved it thanks to all of your help. The forces acting on the mass are gravity (mg) and the tension of the string (T). There is one torque acting on the spindle ( tf). The net torque on the mass is mg - T= ma which can be rewritten as T= mg - ma. The net torque on the spindle is tf...
