A string is wrapped several time on a cylinder of mass `M` and radius `R`, the cylinder is pivoted about its axis of symmetery . A block mass of `m` tied to the string rests on support so that the string is black. The block is lifted upto a height `h` and the support is removed. (shown in figure) What is the angular velocity of cylinder just before the string becomes tautA. zeroB. `(sqrt(2gh))/R`C. `(sqrt(gh))/R`D. `(sqrt(gh))/R`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`Just before the string becomes taut, the block falls freely, so `v_(0)=sqrt(2gh)`. There is no tension in the string, so nothing causes the cylinder to spin, so `omega_(0)=0`
