Randall D. Knight β€” Rotation of a Rigid Body: Problem 75

The sphere of mass \( M \) and radius \( R \) in FIGURE P12.75 is rigidly attached to a thin rod of radius \( r \) that passes through the sphere at distance \( \frac{1}{2} R \) from the center. A string wrapped around the rod pulls with tension \( T \). Find an expression for the sphere’s angular acceleration. The rod’s moment of inertia is negligible.
