Question

A massless string is wrapped around a disc of mass M and radius R. Another end is tied

to a mass m which is initially at height h from ground level as shown in the figure. If the
mass is released then its velocity while touching the ground level will be :

A solid uniform cylinder of mass M and radius R is pivoted at its centre free to rotate about horizontal axis. A massless inextensible string is wrapped around it, and attached to a block of mass m which is initially at a height h above the floor. The acceleration due to gravity is g, directed downward. The block is released from rest. By what total angle θ does it rotate (in radians)?
