    Help Deriving formula for moment of inertia lab

    this lab is very similar to mine basically i can only seem to derive a portion of the formula, I=mgb/al - mb^2 where b- radius, g-gravity, al- angular acceleration. I do not get the right answer: here is what i did do however, Fnet=ma T-mg=-ma (acceleration is downwards) so T=(mg-ma) so then...
