Question: A ( 5 0 0 - mathrm { kg } ) concrete culvert, shaped like a hollow cylinder with a mean radius

A \(500-\mathrm{kg}\) concrete culvert, shaped like a hollow cylinder with a mean radius of 0.5 m (ignore its thickness), is loaded on the back of a truck. The truck accelerates forward at \(3\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}^{2}\). Assuming the culvert rolls without slipping on the truck bed:
1. Find the magnitude and direction of the angular acceleration of the culvert (\(\alpha \))
2. Find the magnitude and direction of the tangential acceleration of the center of mass of the culvert
A \ ( 5 0 0 - \ mathrm { kg } \ ) concrete
