Question

A uniform cylinder of mass $$m = 8.0\ kg$$ and radius $$R = 1.3\ cm$$ (Fig.) starts descending at a moment $$t = 0$$ due to gravity. Neglecting the mass of the thread, find:
(a) the tension of each thread and the angular acceleration of the cylinder.
(b) the time dependence of the instantaneous power developed by the gravitational force.

Solution
Verified by Toppr

(a) Let us indicate the forces and their points of application fox the cylinder. Choosing the positive direction for $$x$$ and $$\varphi$$ as shown in the figure, we write the equation of motion of the cylinder axis and the equation of moments in the C.M. frame relative to that axis i.e. from equation
i.e. from equation $$F_{x} = mw_{c}$$ and $$N_{z} = I_{c}\beta_{x}$$.
$$mg - 2T = mw_{c}; 2TR = \dfrac {mR^{2}}{2}\beta$$
As there is no slipping of thread on the cylinder
$$w_{c} = \beta R$$
From these three equations
$$T = \dfrac {mg}{6} = 13\ N, \beta = \dfrac {2}{5} \dfrac {g}{R} = 5\times 10^{2} rad/ s^{2}$$.
