The downward acceleration of the solid cylinder at the given tension in the string is determined as 2Tr/MR.
The downward acceleration of the solid cylinder is determined from the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below;
Iα = Tr
where;
α = Tr/I
[tex]\frac{a}{R} = \frac{Tr}{I} \\\\\frac{a}{R} = \frac{Tr}{\frac{1}{2} MR^2}\\\\\frac{a}{R} =\frac{2Tr}{MR^2} \\\\a = \frac{2Tr}{MR}[/tex]
where;
Thus, the downward acceleration of the solid cylinder at the given tension in the string is determined as 2Tr/MR.
