Answer:
a.
b.
Explanation:
I have attached an illustration of a solid disk with the respective forces applied, as stated in this question.
Forces applied to the solid disk include:
Other parameters given include:
Mass of solid disk,
and radius of solid disk,
a.) The formula for determining torque (), is
Hence the net torque produced by the two forces is given as a summation of both forces:
b.) The angular acceleration of the disk can be found thus:
using the formula for the Moment of Inertia of a solid disk;
where = Mass of solid disk
and = radius of solid disk
We then relate the torque and angular acceleration () with the formula:
