Question: Cable is unwound from a spool supported on small rollers at A and B by exerting a force T = 3 0 0 N on

Cable is unwound from a spool supported on small rollers at A and B by exerting a force T =300 N on the cable. The spool and cable have a total mass of 480 kg and a radius of gyration of kO =1.2 m. For the calculation, neglect the mass of the cable being unwound and the mass of the rollers at A and B. The rollers turn with no friction. Compute the time needed to unravel 5 m of cable from the spool.
