Question
answer of 6.00 was incorrect. Significant figures count, thanks!
A uniform disk of radius 0.545 m and unknown mass is constrained to rotate about a perpendicular axis through its center. A ring with same mass as the disk's is attached around the disk's rim. A tangential force of 0.225 N applied at the rim causes an angular acceleration of 0.101 rad/s2. Find the mass of the disk. There is a hint available!

Explanation / Answer
0.225*0.545 = 0.101 * 3/2 * M * 0.545^2
so
m = 2.725 kg
