What would I use to find the M mass of the pulley? I've tried moment of inertia and that doesn't work because you need the mass for I=MR^2.

In the problem, it stated that the pulley had a mass M with Radius = 2.00cm so I am assuming the mass of the pulley does matter, which lead me to thinking that the mass used in the w=(k/m)exp1/2 equation is in fact m = mass of object + mass of pulley. I tried finding the mass of the pulley...

Homework Statement One end of a light spring with force constant k = 100 N/m is attached to a vertical wall. A light string is tied to the other end of the horizontal spring. the string changes from horizontal to vertical as it passes over a pulley of mass M in the shape of a solid disk of...
