Problem 73P
A 1.3-kg block is tied to a string that is wrapped around the rim of a pulley of radius 7.2 cm. The block is released from rest. (a) Assuming the pulley is a uniform disk with a mass of 0.31 kg, find the speed of the block after it has fallen through a height of 0.50 m. (b) If a small lead weight is attached near the rim of the pulley and this experiment is repeated, will the speed of the block increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.
