A solid cylinder of mass 50 kg and radius 0.5 m is free to rotate about the horizontal axis. A massless string is wound round the cylinder with one end attached to it and other hanging freely. Tension in the string required to produce an angular acceleration of 2 revolutions s-2 is

a
25 N
b
50 N
c
78.5 N
d
157 N

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Here α=2 revolutions/s2 =4πrad/s2I=12MR2=12(50)(0.5)2=254kg−m2As τ=Iα  so  TR=Iα⇒T=IαR=254(4π)(0.5)N=50πN=157N
