A bucket of water with total mass 29 kg is attached to a rope,which in turn is wound around a 0.04 m radius cylinder at the top of a well.A crank with a turning radius of 0.20 m is attached to the end of the cylinder and the moment of inertia of cylinder and crank is 0.11 kg×m2.If the bucket is raised to the top of the well and released,what is the acceleration of the bucket as it falls toward the bottom of the well? (Assume rope's mass is negligible,that cylinder turns on frictionless bearings and that g = 9.8 m/s2. )

A 4.0-m rod is pivoted about its left end.A force of 10 N is applied perpendicular to the rod at a distance of1.3 m from the pivot causing a ccw torque,and a force of 5.6 N is applied at the end of the rod 4.0 m from the pivot.The 5.6-N force is at an angle of 30o to the rod and causes a cw torque.What is the net torque about the pivot? (Take ccw as positive. )
