Answer:

The angular acceleration is
\alpha = 3.235 \ rad/s ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The moment of inertia is
I = 0.034\ kg \cdot m^2

The net torque is
\tau = 0.11\ N \cdot m

Generally the net torque is mathematically represented as


\tau = I * \alpha

Where
\alpha is the angular acceleration so


\alpha = (\tau )/(I)

substituting values


\alpha = (0.1 1)/( 0.034)


\alpha = 3.235 \ rad/s ^2
