Problem 11.6

Please wait for the animation to completely load.

A wheel rolls without slipping while being pulled by a massless string wrapped around its circumference.  The string is also attached to a 0.11-kg hanging mass via a massless pulley as shown (position is given in meters and time is given in seconds).  If the wheel closely resembles a uniform disk, what is the mass of the wheel?  Hint: use energy.   Restart.
