The magnitude of the tangential acceleration of the hanging mass is 2mg/MR

Tangential acceleration of the hanging mass

The tangential acceleration of the hanging mass around the pulley is determined from the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below;

τ = Iα

Where;

  • I is the moment of inertia
  • α is the angular velocity

[tex]\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} \\\\\alpha = \frac{mgR}{3/2MR^2} \\\\\alpha = \frac{2mgR}{3MR^2} \\\\\alpha = \frac{2mg}{3MR}[/tex]

Where;

  • m is the hanging mass
  • M is the mass of solid disk

The tangential acceleration is calculated as follows;

[tex]a = \alpha R\\\\a = \frac{2mg}{3MR} \times R\\\\a = \frac{2mg}{3M}[/tex]

Thus, the magnitude of the tangential acceleration of the hanging mass is 2mg/MR
