Question 2

A wheel (radius = 0.20 m) is mounted on a frictionless, horizontal axis. A light cord wrapped around the wheel supports a 0.50-kg object, as shown in the figure. When released from rest the object falls with a downward acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. What is the rotational inertia of the wheel?
 
 
 
   
  a.
  0.023 kgm2
   
  b.
  0.027 kgm2
   
  c.
  0.016 kgm2
