Question

A uniform spherical shell of mass M and radius R rotates about a vertical axis on frictionless bearing. A massless cord passes around the equator of the shell, over a pulley of rotational inertia I and radius R and is attached to a small object of mass m that is otherwise free to fall under the influence of gravity. There is no friction of pulley's axle; the cord does not slip on the pulley. What is the speed of the object after it has fallen a distance h from rest? Use work-energy considerations.

By conservation of energy, when object falls by a distance of h.
12mv2+12Ishellω2shell+12Ipulley=mgh
v=Rω
12mv2+12(23MR2)×(vR)2+12Ip(vrp)2=mgh
v2(m+23M+Ipr2p)=2mgh
v=   2mgh(m+23M+Ipr2p)

Q3
A uniform solid cylinder of mass m and radius 2R rests on a horizontal table. A string attached to it passes over a pulley (disc) of mass m and radius R that is mounted on a frictionless axle through its centre. A block of mass m is suspended from the free end of the string. The string does not slip over the pulley surface, and the cylinder rolls without slipping on the table. Force of friction acting on the cylinder is

Q4
Consider two masses with m1>m2 connected by a light inextensible string that passes over a pulley of radius R and moment of inertia I about its axis of rotation. The string does not slip on the pulley and the pulley turns without friction. The two masses are released from rest separated by a vertical distance 2h. When the two masses pass each other, the speed of the masses is proportional to.

Figure shows two blocks of masses m and M connected by a string passing over a pulley. The horizontal table over which the mass m slides is smooth. The pulley has a radius r and moment of inertia I about its axis and it can freely rotate about this axis. Find the acceleration of the mass M assuming that the string does not slip on the pulley.
