Question
### Analyzing Torque and Angular Momentum in a Pulley System

A counterweight of mass \( m = 3.60 \, \text{kg} \) is attached to a light cord that is wound around a pulley, depicted in the figure. The pulley is a thin hoop with a radius \( R = 7.00 \, \text{cm} \) and a mass \( M = 1.50 \, \text{kg} \). The spokes have negligible mass.

#### (a) Net Torque on the Pulley

- **Magnitude:** \( 2.058 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \)
- **Direction:** To the right along the axis of rotation.

#### (b) Total Angular Momentum

When the counterweight has a speed \( v \), the pulley's angular speed \( \omega = v/R \). Calculate the total angular momentum of the system about the axle of the pulley:

- **Magnitude:** \( 0.357 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{s} \)

#### (c) Acceleration of the Counterweight

- **Magnitude:** \( 5.76 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)

### Visual Diagram Explanation

The diagram shows:

- A pulley system with a light cord wrapped around it.
- A counterweight \( m \) hanging downwards.
- The pulley is represented as a circle with internal spokes.
- Arrows indicating the direction of rotation and forces acting on the system. 

This setup is used to explore concepts of torque, angular momentum, and acceleration within rotational dynamics.
