PRELAB
The figure to the right shows a mass hanging from a pulley.
Draw a free body diagram for the hanging mass and write Newton's second law for it. Take down to be positive.
Replace the linear acceleration "a" in your answer to Question 1 with ar. Solve for tension (T).
The torque applied to the pulley is rT. Because =Ia, we have rT=Ia or T=Iar. Substitute this value into your answer for Question 2 and solve for I. This is the moment of inertia of the pulley.
