Answer #1

Hello and thank you for your question

Let's pick up the data and make a quick drawing:

Now let's solve it first of all let's recall the net torque formula:

Being


This is the moment of inertia for a disk.

the angular acceleration

Therefore our final formula would be:


If this helps leave positive feedback please :) Good luck!
