Question: A cable is wrapped several times around a uniform solid cylinder with mass M = 5 0 kg and radius R = 0 . 1

A cable is wrapped several times around a uniform solid cylinder
with mass M =50 kg and radius R =0.10 m and rotates freely without friction
about a horizontal axis. The bucket (mass m =5 kg) must descend a height
h =5 m to reach the water; it is suspended by a rope of negligible mass that
wraps around the cylinder. The winch (cylinder) handle falls off, releasing
the bucket to fall to the water, rotating the cylinder as it falls. Assuming that
the cable unwinds without stretching or slipping:
[5](4.a) Find the magnitude of the angular velocity of the cylinder just
before the bucket hits the water.
[5](4.b) Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the cylinder.
