A bullet of mass m = 2.0 g is moving horizontally with a speed of 500.0 m/s. The bullet strikes and becomes embedded in the edge of a solid disk of mass M = 3.2 kg and radius R = 0.5 m. The cylinder is free to rotate around its axis and is initially at rest as shown in figure-2.

the disk?
(b) What is the angular velocity of the disk immediately after the bullet is em-
bedded?
(c) Calculate the amount of torque to produce the angular velocity found in
part(b).
