A wheel (radius = 12 cm) is mounted on a frictionless, horizontal axle that is perpendicular to the wheel and passes through the center of mass of the wheel. A light cord wrapped around the wheel supports a 0.40-kg object. If released from rest with the string taut, the object is observed to fall with a downward acceleration of 3.0 m/s2. What is the rotational inertia (of the wheel) about the given axle?

A. 0.023 kg?m2 B. 0.013 kg?m2 C. 0.020 kg?m2 D. 0.016 kg?m2 E. 0.035 kg?m2
