A cylinder is 0.10 m in radius and 0.20 in length. Its rotational inertia, about the cylinder axis on which it is mounted, is 0.
Bumek [7]

Answer:5 rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Radius of cylinder r=0.1 m

Length L=0.2 in.

Moment of inertia I=0.020 kg-m^2

Force F=1 N

We Know Torque is given by

Torque =I\alpha =F\cdot r

where \alpha =angular\ acceleration

I\alpha =F\cdot r

0.02\cdot \alpha =1\cdot 0.1

\alpha =5 rad/s^2
