In the figure, a very light rope is wrapped around a wheel of radius R meters and does not slip. The wheel is mounted with frictionless bearings on an axle through its center. A block of mass m - 14 kg is suspended from the end of the rope. When the system is released from rest it is observed that the block descends with acceleration a. What is the moment of inertia ! of the wheel? Where a - acceleration of the block, and g - acceleration due to gravity R 14 kg A) 1-mla - g)R2/a B) - ma + g)R2/a C) 1 - m(2g - a)R2/2a DI - m(2a - g)R/g E) - mig - a)R2/a
