Homework Statement
A piece of cloth with irrelavent mass is wrapped around a 67.5 kg cylinder of radius 0.167 m. Joe holds the free end of the cloth. The cylinder is released from rest, and Joe pulls the tape upward at a speed that just prevents the center of mass of the cylinder from falling as the tape unwinds. Assume:
- the cylinder is always parallel to the floor
- the tape is always perpendicular to the radius of the cylinder
- the tape does not slip over the cylinder
a) Find the magnitude of the tension in the tape as the cylinder turns.
