Two metal disks, one with radius and mass and the other

Chapter 9, Problem 9.87

(choose chapter or problem)

Two metal disks, one with radius and mass and the other with radius and mass are welded together and mounted on a frictionless axis through their common center (Fig. P9.87). (a) What is thetotal moment of inertia of the two disks? (b) A light string is wrapped around the edge of the smaller disk, and a 1.50-kg block is suspended from the free end of the string. If the block is released from rest at a distance of 2.00 m above the floor, what is its speed just before it strikes the floor? (c) Repeat the calculation of part (b), this time with the string wrapped around the edge of the larger disk. In which case is the final speed of the block greater? Explain why this is so.
