1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

a spool of radius R1 and R2 (R2>R1) is kept on hortizontal surface. A force f= 2t N (where t is time ) acts on the inner radius tagentially find the angular momentum of the system about the bottomost point of the spool.
2. Relevant equations
v=u+at
W=Wi+alpha(t)
L=IW+mvr

3. The attempt at a solution

Where is the pool fixed at the center or at the indicated point?

It's not fixed ...it's on the floor free to rotate and translate

Nonetheless, could you give me the relation between $\vec v$ and $\vec a$, and that between $\vec α$ and $\vec ω$?

In your calculation of the linear acceleration you have ignored friction at the ground. Not sure if you did the same with the moments.
Please do not post working as images. Use images for diagrams and textbook extracts. Take the trouble to type in your algebra.

### Let'sthink

You say F = 2t what about direction? Then you want angular momentum at what time. If time varying force is acting neither the momentum nor angular momentum will be constant.

Thanks for the reply but I solved it
