Question

Thin threads are tightly wound on the ends of a uniform solid cylinder of mass m. The free ends of the threads are attached to the ceiling of an elevator car. The car starts going up with an acceleration w0.
Find the acceleration w of the cylinder relative to the car :

A
w=23(gw0)

Solution

The correct option is A w=23(gw0)
If the observer is in the elevator the gravitational force as
observed by the observer will be = m(gwo)
where g= acceleration due to gravity wo= acceleration of the elevator
From Newton's Laws :
m(gwo)2T=ma .......(1) a = acceleration of the cylinder relative to the car
(because the observer is in the car he will see relative motion)
As slipping is not there:
Iα=2Tr12mr2ar=2TrT=ma54
Substitutung the value of T in equation (1)
m(gwo)ma2=ma
on solving we get
3ma2=m(gwo)
or a=23(gwo)
