The cylinder is held with the tape vertical and then released from rest. A cloth tape is also wound around the outside of a uniform cylinder with the same mass m and the same radius r, but with moment of inertia i cylinder = mr2/2. As the cylinder descends, it unwinds from the tape without slipping.
