A concrete block of mass m = 4.0 kg is hung from a nylon string that is wrapped around a frictionless pulley having the shape of a cylindrical shell, as shown in the figure. The pulley rotates about a fixed shaft that has negligible friction. The block accelerates downward at 4.90 m/s2 when it is released. The pulley can be modeled as a cylinder, with a moment of inertia equal to 1/2MR2, where M is the mass of the pulley and R is the radius. R M Write an expression that shows the relationship between the angular acceleration of the pulley and the linear acceleration of the concrete block.
