25. Table Problem: Moment of Inertia Wheel A steel washer is mounted on a cylindrical rotor . The inner radius of the washer is R. A massless string, with an object of mass m attached to the other end, is wrapped around the side of the rotor and passes over a massless pulley. Assume that there is a constant frictional torque about the axis of the rotor. The object is released and falls. As the mass falls, the rotor undergoes an angular acceleration of magnitude a1. After the string detaches from the rotor, the rotor coasts to a stop with an angular acceleration of magnitude a2. Let g denote the gravitational constant. What is the moment of inertia of the rotor assembly (including the washer) about the rotation axis?
