Question: An inextensible cable is attached to a fixed support, wraps around the periphery of a disc of mass 2 m kg and radius r m

An inextensible cable is attached to a fixed support, wraps around the periphery of a disc of mass 2m kg and radius r m and is attached to a spring of stiffness k N/m, which is also attached to the fixed support. A suspended block B of mass m kg is attached to the centre of the disc, A, by means of a massless, inextensible cable. The system is initially at rest when a moment M Nm CCW acts on the disc. The cabledoesnotsliponthedisc. (a)Ifm=10kg,r=0.2 m, k =250 N/m, determine the initial stretch s1 m in the spring at static equilibrium (before the moment is applied)[2 marks].(b) Ignore your answer and assume the fictitious value s1=0.5 m. Set y and to zero at the static equi- librium position and consider the motion when a moment M =40 Nm is now applied to the disc. Determine the trans- lational velocity of the suspended block, vB, when y =0.3 m [8 marks].
