A window cleaner is pulling himself up a pulley that consists of two disks welded together as shown. The person is currently pulling straight down on the rope in his hands with a force of magnitude 415 N. The other rope is also vertical and is attached to the person's center of mass. The person's mass is 85.1 kg, the pulley's total moment of inertia is 4 kg*m^2, the radius of the small disk is .39 m, and the radius of the big disk is 1 m. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the person's center of mass?

A wheel that is initially at rest is mounted on an axle that is not frictionless. When a constant external torque of 50.0 N-m is applied to the wheel for 25.0 s the wheel angularly accelerates to an angular speed of 750 rpm. The external torque is removed and the wheel comes to rest after 120 s due to the friction at the axle. Write down N2L for each situation.

A customer service person in a department store is wrapping packages for customers. The ribbon spool she uses has 13.7 m of ribbon wound on it. The radius of the spool is 16.0 cm and its moment of inertia is 0.55 kg. m². As the spool turns, friction forces cause a torque of 0.17 N m to act on it. The spool is initially at rest. The service person pulls on the spool with a constant tension of 11.5 N. Determine the time it takes, in seconds, to unwind 5.5 m of the ribbon, assuming there is no slippage and the mass of the ribbon is negligible.
A fixed pulley has a moment of inertia of 0.689 kg m² and a radius of 0.165 m. A string, wrapped tightly around the pulley, has a block of mass 0.409 kg attached to its free end. With the string vertical and taut, the block is carefully released so it can descend under the influence of gravity. As the block falls, the string unwinds and causes the pulley to rotate, but does not slip on the pulley. What is the speed of the block in m/s after it has fallen through 0.66 m? Express your answer to 2 decimal places.
