Question
Cylinder A is moving downward with a velocity of 3 m/s when the brake is suddenly applied to the drum. Knowing that the cylinder moves 6 m downward before coming to rest and assuming uniformly accelerated motion, determine (a) the angular acceleration of the drum, (b) the time required for the cylinder to come to rest.

Answer:
Incomplete question
Check attachment for the given diagram
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial Velocity of drum
u=3m/s
Distance travelled before coming to rest is 6m
Since it comes to rest, then, the final velocity is 0m/s
v=3m/s
Using equation of motion to calculate the linear acceleration or tangential acceleration
v²=u²+2as
0²=3²+2×a×6
0=9+12a
12a=-9
Then, a=-9/12
a=-0.75m/s²
The negative sign shows that the cylinder is decelerating.
Then, a=0.75m/s²
So, using the relationship between linear acceleration and angular acceleration.
a=αr
Where
a is linear acceleration
α is angular acceleration
And r is radius
α=a/r
From the diagram r=250mm=0.25m
Then,
α=0.75/0.25
α =3rad/sec²
The angular acceleration is =3rad/s²
b. Time take to come to rest
Using equation of motion
v=u+at
0=3-0.75t
0.75t=3
Then, t=3/0.75
t=4 secs
The time take to come to rest is 4s
