Hi All, Currently on a distance learning HNC and I am not quite sure whether the question just wants me to answer 'yes' or give mathematical evidence. Part A answered, Part B not sure... Any help would be great! 2. The process for the production of an electrical device is suitable for...

Thanks gneill, I understand were you are coming from as this is what I have read online in several places, but surely the rotating of the mass of which the string is attached to affects the overall acceleration of the mass?

Funny how posting that that prompted thought, Should net torque use the radius of gyration instead of radius, thus giving a TNET of 0.779895, apply the same to the TA calculation it gives 0.551258 thus TF = TNET - TA TF = 0.228637 Or have I gone wrong further up the chain?

Homework Statement A mass of 0.5kg is suspended from a flywheel, if the mass is released from rest and falls a distance of 0.5m in 1.5s calculate: A, the Linear acceleration of the mass B, the angular acceleration of the wheel C, the tension in the rope D, the friction torque. Known...
