Answer

$I = 0.0138~kg~m^2$

Work Step by Step

In part (b), we found that $~~T_2 = 4.87~N$ In part (c), we found that $~~T_1 = 4.54~N$ In part (d), we found that $~~\alpha = 1.20~rad/s^2$ We can find the rotational inertia of the pulley: $\tau = I \alpha$ $(T_2-T_1)~r= I \alpha$ $I = \frac{(T_2-T_1)~r}{\alpha}$ $I = \frac{(4.87~N-4.54~N)~(0.0500~m)}{1.20~rad/s^2}$ $I = 0.0138~kg~m^2$
