Question

A yoyo is constructed by attaching three uniform, solid disks along their central axes as shown. The two outer disks are identical, each with mass M, radius R, and moment of inertia 1/2MR2. The central, smaller disk has mass M/2 and radius R/2. A light, flexible string of negligible mass is wrapped counterclockwise around the central disk of the yoyo. The yoyo is then placed on a horizontal tabletop and the string is gently pulled with a constant force F. The coefficient of friction between the yoyo and the tabletop is μ. The tension in the string is not sufficient to cause the yoyo to leave the tabletop.
