Homework Statement
A circular disk with the mass m and radius r is hanging from two ropes with length l when suddenly the rope ED snaps. For this moment, find:
a, The angular acceleration for the rope OB, the angular acceleration for the disk
b, The force T acting in OB
The Attempt at a Solution
Or lack thereof, really don't know how to approach this without a given ω. I can find some relations between the accelerations at different points but ultimately I'm sitting with a lot of unknowns.
Frankly don't know how to connect the force acting on the disk to any general acceleration.
