A cord is wrapped around the rim of a solid cylinder of radius 0.25m and a constant force of 40 N is exerted on the cord. The cylinder is mounted on frictionless bearings and its moment of inertia is 4 kg-m2 The angular velocity of the cylinder after 5m of cord has been unwound, is ω1. If the 40N force is replaced by a 40N weight and released from rest at the top, the angular velocity of the cylinder after 5m of cord has been unwounded is ω2 (Given, g=10 ms-2 ). Then
