Two metal disks, one with radius R1 = 2.50 cm and mass M1 = 0.80 kg and the other with radius R2 = 5.00 cm and mass M2 = 1.60 kg, are welded together and mounted on a frictionless axis through their common center, as in Problem 9.77. (a) A light string is wrapped around the edge of the smaller disk, and a 1.50-kg block is suspended from the free end of the siring. What is the magnitude of the downward acceleration of the block after it is released? (b) Repeat the calculation of part (a), this time with the string wrapped around the edge of the larger disk. In which case is the acceleration of the block greater? Does your answer make sense?

- You are designing a system for moving aluminum cylinders from the ground to a loading dock. You use a sturdy wooden ramp that is 2.00 m long and inclined at 37.0° above the horizontal. Each cylinder is fitted with a light, frictionless yoke through its center, and a light (but strong) rope is attached to the yoke. Each cylinder is uniform and has mass 490 kg and radius 0.300 m.
