Mass of the hollow cylinder, m = 3 kg
Radius of the hollow cylinder, r = 40 cm = 0.4 m
Applied force, F = 30 N
The MI of the hollow cylinder about its axis,
I = = 3 x 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.48 kgm2
Torque, = 30 x 0.4 = 12 Nm
For angular acceleration , torque is given by
= I x or
/ I = 12 / 0.48 = 25 rad/s
Linear acceleration = r x = 0.4 x 25 = 10 m/s2
