A solid disk of mass and radius is mounted on a frictionless axle. A light string is wrapped around its rim, and a small block of mass is attached to the end of the string. The system is released from rest, and the block begins to fall under gravity.
Find the acceleration of the falling block.
Determine the tension in the string.
Calculate the angular velocity of the disk after the block has fallen a distance .
