A block with mass m=6.00kg slides down a surface inclined at 37° to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. A string attached to the block is wrapped around a flywheel on a fixed axis as seen in the figure. The flywheel has mass 25.0 kg and moment of inertia 0.500 kg*m2 with respect to the axis of rotation. The string pulls without slipping at a perpendicular distance of 0.250m from that axis. (a) What is the acceleration of the block down the incline?
