A lever PQ, hinged at P, of mass 'm' and length 'l' lies on the drum ( solid cylinder ) of mass 'm' and radius 'R'.The drum can rotate about the horizontal axis passing through O. The coefficient of friction between the lever and drum is `1//4`. A block of mass 'm' is connected through the string with the drum as shown in the figure. The string does not slip on the drum. Then the acceleration of the block is

A uniform disc of radius R and mass M is free to rotate about a fixed horizontal axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its centre. A string is wrapped over its rim and a block of mass m is attached to the free end of the string. The block is released from rest. If string does not slip on the rim then find the acceleration of the block. Neglect the mass of the string.
