Question: If a 8 lb block ( B ) is suspended from the cord and released from rest, determine the spool's angular velocity when

If a 8 lb block \( B \) is suspended from the cord and released from rest, determine the spool's angular velocity when \( t=5\mathrm{~s}\). Neglect the mass of the cord. The spool has a weight of 190 lb and the radius of gyration about the axle \( A \) is \( k_{A}=1.25\mathrm{ft}\). Solve the problem in two ways, first by considering the "system" consisting of the block and spool, and then by considering the block and spool separately. (Figure 1)
