SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the frequency and period of oscillation for an ideal pulley system. The radius of the pulley is specified as 2 meters, and the moment of inertia (I) is given as 10 kg/m². The calculated frequency is 0.982 Hz, and the period is 1.01 seconds, which are confirmed as correct through the application of the principles of harmonic motion.
