A uniform, solid, \(100\,\text{kg}\) cylinder with a diameter of \(1.0\,\text{m}\) is mounted so it is free to rotate about a fixed, horizontal, frictionless axis that passes through the centers of its circular ends. A \(10\,\text{kg}\) block is hung from a very light, thin cord wrapped around the cylinder's circumference. When the block is released, the cord unwinds and the block accelerates downward. What is the acceleration of the block?
