A uniform, solid cylinder of mass mc=5.37 kg and radius R=0.48 m is attached at its axle to a string. The string is wrapped around a small "ideal" pulley (negligible friction, Icm≈0) and is attached to a hanging block of mass mb=3.34 kg as indicated in the above figure. You release the objects from rest and the cylinder rolls without slipping. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block?
