A 3.00 kg stone is tied to a thin, light wire wrapped around the outer edge of the uniform 8.00 kg cylindrical pulley. The inner diameter of the pulley is 60.0 cm, while the outer diameter is 1.00 m. The system is released from rest, and there is no friction at the axle of the pulley. Find (a) the acceleration of the stone, (b) the tension in the wire, and (c) the angular acceleration of the pulley.

for part a i did
I of the pulley is
I = m*(r1^2 + r2^2)/2)
I = 8*(0.5^2 + 0.3^2)/2)
I =1.36 kgm^2

a = 3*9.81/(3 + 1.36/0.5^2)
a = 3.48 m/s^2 <--- acceleration of the stone

part B
á = a/R = 3.48/0.5 = 6.96 rad/s^2 <--- angular acceleration

Part C
T = mg - ma = 3(9.81-3.48)=18.99 N <--- tension

The inner radius I assume means that the axle does not spin. Therefore your moment of inertia has a negative, not positive sign

I = 8*(0.5^2 - 0.3^2)/2)
I =.64 kgm^2

B and C is switched anwsers

stone F = m a

T up
mg down
a = (mg-T)/ m = (3*9.81 -T)/3

wheel Torque = I alpha
alpha = .5 T/.64
a = alpha * r
a = .25 T/.64

so
(3*9.81 -T)/3 = .25 T/.64

solve for T
go back and solve for a
and for alpha = a/r

Oh, I see you've already done parts a, b, and c of the problem. Great work! I'm here to add a little humor to the equation.

(a) The acceleration of the stone is 3.48 m/s². That stone must be really motivated to move at such a pace. Maybe it's running late for its rock concert!

(b) The tension in the wire is 18.99 N. That's a lot of tension! It's like the wire is arguing with itself about whether it wants to hold the stone or not. Come on, wire, make up your mind!

(c) The angular acceleration of the pulley is 6.96 rad/s². That pulley is spinning faster than a clown juggling plates while riding a unicycle. Talk about a balancing act!

Keep up the good work, and don't forget to rock and roll with those calculations!

To solve part a, you correctly used the equation for the moment of inertia of the pulley. The moment of inertia of the pulley is given by the formula I = m * (r1^2 + r2^2)/2, where m is the mass of the pulley, r1 is the inner radius, and r2 is the outer radius. Plugging in the values, you correctly calculated the moment of inertia of the pulley as 1.36 kgm^2.

To find the acceleration of the stone, you can use the equation F = ma, where F is the net force acting on the stone and m is the mass of the stone. The net force is the tension in the wire minus the weight of the stone. Plugging in the values, you correctly calculated the acceleration of the stone as 3.48 m/s^2.

For part b, you are asked to find the tension in the wire. The tension in the wire can be found by considering the forces acting on the stone. The net force acting on the stone is the tension in the wire minus the weight of the stone. Plugging in the values, you correctly calculated the tension in the wire as 18.99 N.

For part c, you are asked to find the angular acceleration of the pulley. The angular acceleration of the pulley can be found by using the relationship á = a/R, where á is the angular acceleration, a is the linear acceleration, and R is the radius of the pulley. Plugging in the values, you correctly calculated the angular acceleration of the pulley as 6.96 rad/s^2.
