Rotational Dynamics: A uniform, solid, 100-kg cylinder with a diameter of 1.0 m is mounted so it is free to rotate about fixed, horizontal, frictionless axis that passes through the centers of its circular ends. A 10-kg block is hung from a very light thin cord wrapped around the cylinder's circumference. When the block is released, the cord unwinds and the block accelerates downward, as shown in the figure. What is the acceleration of the block?
