Question:
A solid cylinder of uniform density, mass m and radius r can rotate freely
about a fixed horizontal axle along its central axis. A light string is wrapped
around both this cylinder and another similar cylinder of mass m and radius
r see diagram below. This second cylinder falls under gravity, and hence also
rotates, unwinding the string from both cylinders. Assume the length of string
between the two cylinders remains vertical as shown. Find an expression for
the linear acceleration of the second cylinder and show that, for mm this
acceleration is g
