Question

Assuming the cylinder described above has a mass m and radius R, which of the following statements best reflects the relationship between the magnitudes of the tension in the rope and weight of the cylinder? A) The tension is equal to the weight of the cylinder B) The tension is smaller than the weight of the cylinder. C) The tension is larger than the weight of the cylinder Assuming the cylinder described above has a mass m and radius R, which of the forces acting on the cylinder applies a torque about its center? A) the weight C) both the tension and the weight B) the tension D) neither the tension nor the weight

Explanation / Answer

As the cylinder is falling down so it is clear that tension in the rope is less than the weight of cylinder.

Torque will be provided only by the tension in the rope, as weight is passing through the center itself, so it will not create a torque.
