A thin, light string is wrapped around the rim of a 4.00 kg solid uniform disk that is 30.0 cm in diameter. A person pulls on the string with a constant force of 100.0 N tangent to the disk, as shown in Figure 10.48 . The disk is not attached to anything and is free to move and turn . (a) Find the angular acceleration of the disk about its center of mass and the linear acceleration of its center of mass. (b) If the disk is replaced by a hollow thin-walled cylinder of the same mass and diameter, what will be the accelerations in part (a)? Figure 10.48 Problem 13.

Problem 13.
Definition Definition Rate of change of angular velocity. Angular acceleration indicates how fast the angular velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude is represented by the length of the vector and direction is represented by the right-hand thumb rule. An angular acceleration vector will be always perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Angular acceleration is generally denoted by the Greek letter α and its SI unit is rad/s 2 .
Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.
