Problem 2
The 20-kg roll of paper has a radius of gyration k A =90 mm about an axis passing through point A . It is pin-supported at both ends by two brackets AB . If the roll rests against a wall for which the coefficient of kinetic friction is k =0.2 and a vertical force F =30 N is applied to the end of the paper, determine the angular acceleration of the roll as the paper unrolls.

Problem 3
The two blocks A and B have a mass m A and m B , respectively, where mB mA . If the pulley can be treated as a disk of mass M , determine the acceleration of block A . Neglect the mass of the cord and any slipping on the pulley. Recall that the moment of inertia of a disk about its center is I G = Mr 2 / 2 .
