HELP URGENT PLEASE
The figure below shows, at left, a solid wheel of radius R=0.600m and mass 75.0kg. Mounted directly to it and coaxial with it is a pulley with a much smaller mass and a radius of r=0.230m. The wheel and pulley assembly are on a frictionless axle. A belt is wrapped around the pulley and connected to an electric motor as shown on the right. The turning motor gives the wheel and pulley a clockwise angular acceleration of 1.67rad/s2. The tension ?u? in the upper (taut) segment of the belt is 165N. (a) What is the tension (in N ) in the lower (slack) segment of the belt? (b) What If? You replace the belt with a different one (one slightly longer and looser, but still tight enough that it does not sag). You again turn on the motor so that the wheel accelerates clockwise. The upper segment of the belt once again has a tension of 165N, but now the tension in the lower belt is exactly zero. What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration (in rad/s2 )? rad/s2
