A flexible cable 60 meters long with a mass of 0.160 kg per meter of length is wound around the reel. With y = 0, the weight of the 4-kg cylinder is required to start turning the reel to overcome friction in its bearings. Determine the downward acceleration a in meters per second squared of the cylinder as a function of y in meters. The empty reel has a mass of 16 kg with a radius of gyration about its bearing of 200 mm.
