The lifting mechanism shown in the figure has a drum with a radius \( r \) and a weight \( W_{1} \).The drum has a mass moment of inertia \( I_{O} \) about axis \( O \). If a constant couple moment \( M \) is applied to the drum to lift a block of weight \( W_{2} \) starting from rest, the acceleration of the block will be \( a \) \( = \)

Step 1
First, we need to find the torque acting on the drum due to the weight of the block. The torque is given by the product of the force and the radius, so the torque due to the weight of the block is \(T_{W2} = W_{2}r\). Show more…

A $2.4-\mathrm{kg}$ block rests on a slope and is attached by a string of negligible mass to a solid drum of mass $0.85 \mathrm{kg}$ and radius $5.0 \mathrm{cm}$ as shown in Fig. $10.28 .$ When released, the block accelerates down the slope at $1.6 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} .$ Find the coefficient of friction between block and slope.
