In the given figure,a solid cylinder of mass $m_2$ and radius $R$ is suspended by a string wrapped around it,which passes over a fixed pulley of mass $m_1$ and radius $R$. If the linear acceleration of the solid cylinder is $a_2$ and there is no slipping,what is its angular acceleration $\alpha_2$?

  • A
    $\frac{a_2}{R}$
  • B
    $\frac{a_2 + g}{R}$
  • C
    $\frac{2(a_2 + g)}{R}$
  • D
    $\frac{2(g - a_2)}{R}$

$A$ thin rod is hinged at point $O$ and is in an unstable equilibrium position. It falls under the influence of gravity due to a slight disturbance. It makes angles of $60^{\circ}$,$90^{\circ}$,and $180^{\circ}$ with the vertical in positions $(2)$,$(3)$,and $(4)$ respectively. If $\omega_2$,$\omega_3$,and $\omega_4$ are the angular velocities in these positions,then:
