The 100-kg cylindrical disk is at rest when the force F is applied to a cord wrapped around it. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the disk and the surface are 0.2. Determine the angular acceleration of the disk if (a) F = 500 N and (b) F = 1000 N.

Strategy: First solve the problem by assuming that the disk does not slip, but rolls on the surface. Determine the frictional force, and find out whether it exceeds the product of the coefficient of friction and the normal force. If it does, you must rework the problem assuming that the disk slips.
