Question: 2 ) We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a solid cylinder with radius R = 2 m and moment of inertia I = 4

2) We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a solid cylinder with radius R =2 mand moment of inertia I =4 kg m2. The cylinder rotates with negligible friction about a stationary horizontal axis. We tie the free end of the cable to a block of mass m =1kg and release the block from rest at a distance h =1.6 mabove the floor. As the block falls, the cable unwinds without stretching or slipping. Whats the linear acceleration of the block m before it strikes the floor.
