Newton’s second law for rotational motion Equation

A string wraps around a 6.0-kg wheel of radius 0.20 m. The wheel is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axle at the top of an inclined plane tilted 37° below the horizontal. The free end of the string is attached to a 2.0-kg block that slides down the incline without friction. The block’s acceleration while sliding down the incline is 2.0 m/s2. (a) Draw separate force diagrams for the wheel and for the block. (b) Apply Newton’s second law (either the translational form or the rotational form) for the wheel and for the block. (c) Determine the rotational inertia for the wheel about its axis of rotation.
