Question
A spool consists of a cylinder with two circular disks glued on either end. It has
mass m, moment of inertia I, inner (cylinder) radius r, and outer (disk) radius R.
String is wrapped tightly around the cylinder. The spool is placed on its side and
the string is pulled with force T from an angle 0 above the horizontal. The spool
rolls without slipping.
(a) Compute the angular acceleration about the center of mass at the instant the
force is first applied.
(b) Which way does the spool roll, right or left? Does this depend on the properties
of the spool and/or the angle 0? If so, find a formula. Note: if you did not
succeed in part 1, you can still get partial credit here for a correct qualitative
discussion.
