Question: A string is wrapped around a disk of mass 2 kg and radius 0 . 1 m . Starting from rest the string is pulled

A string is wrapped around a disk of mass 2 kg and radius 0.1 m. Starting from rest the string is pulled with a constant force of 10 N on a nearly frictionless surface for a time 0.5 second. During this time a length of string of 1.25 m unwinds from the disk without slipping . What is the rotational kinetic energy of the disk? ***Please explain the process, I already know the correct answer is 12.5 J)
