1. M, a solid cylinder (M=1.83 kg, R=0.115 m) pivots on a thin, fixed, frictionless bearing. A string wrapped around the cylinder pulls downward with a force F which equals the weight of a 0.630 kg mass, i.e., F = 6.180 N. (the angular acceleration of the cylinder is [58.73rad/s2]) 2. If instead of the force F an actual mass m = 0.630 kg is hung from the string, find the angular acceleration of the cylinder. Hint: The tension in the string induces the torque in both this part and the first part. The tension is not equal to mg! If it were, the mass would not accelerate downward. Determine all of the forces acting on the mass, then apply Newton's second law and solve for the tension, and apply it to Newton's second law of rotational motion.

The answer to the first part of this question was 58.73rad/s2, I just don't know how I am supposed to set up the second part of this question at all. I know that the acceleration will be lesss but I just don't know how to modifiy the equation to account for the hanging mass instead of a constant force
