Please help? Near the surface of the Earth, a wooden block with mass m = 2 kg is attached to a string. The string is wrapped around a frictionless pulley with a radius R = 0.5 m, and rotational inertia I = 2.5 kg·m^2 as shown in the figure. The pulley and the block are initially at rest. When the system is released and the string begins to unwind, what is the tension in the string (in N)?
