1)
Let us assume the tension in the string be T, acceleration be a, angular acceleration be alpha, and time taken be t.
r = 5 in = 5/12 ft
R = 10 in = 10/12 ft
moment of inertia I = 0.24 slug.ft^2 = 0.24*32.2 lb.ft^2
mass m = 50 lb
gravitational acceleration g = 32.2 ft/s^2

Net force
m*g - T = m*a .........(1)

Moment about the center,
T*r = I*alpha = I*a/r
=> T = I*a/r^2 .........(2)

From Equations. (1) and (2),
m*g = (m + I/r^2)*a
=> a = m*g/(m + I/r^2)

Kinematics: s = 4 ft; u = 0 (rest)

Because,
s = u*t + (1/2)*a*t^2
=> s = (1/2)*t^2*m*g/(m + I/r^2)
=> t^2 = 2*s*(m + I/r^2)/(m*g)
=> t^2 = 2*4*(50 + ...

  • " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
