Solution

The correct option is B 2m0gm+2m0

Suppose that the tension in the string is T.
Then, =m0gT=m0a
T=m0(ga)
where a = acceleration
Further, T.r = I α
α = angular acceleration and T.r = moment of force acting on cylinder
or T=Iαr
=(mr22)(αr)=mrα2=ma2
a=2Tm=2m0(ga)m
Solving for a, we get
a=(2m0gm+2m0).
