Question Details:
i  don't get the question at all..like how are we supposed to put together the fact that we are using a  circle and finding rotational inertia
life is what you make it!

Response Details:
 let 
  T be the tensio on the rope.
   from the newtons 2 nd law
 we have  T - mg = ma
             T = m ( g+a)
 since the box has an upward accleration a = 0.80m/s2
 the tension is given by
 T = ( 30kg ) ( 9.8m/s2 + 0.8m/s2 ) = 318N
      the rotation of device is described by
   from the diagram
 Fapp R  - Tr  = τ = Iα = I a/r
 then moment of inertia can be obtaind by 
       I = r ( Fapp  R - Tr/a) = (0.20m ) ( 140 N) ( 0.50m) - (318N)(0.20m)/ 0.80m/s2
    I = 1.6kg- m2
