$A$ cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $r$ is mounted on a frictionless axle over a well. $A$ rope of negligible mass is wrapped around the solid cylinder and a bucket of mass $m$ is suspended from the rope. The linear acceleration of the bucket will be

  • A
    $a = \frac{2mg}{M + 2m}$
  • B
    $a = \frac{mg}{M + m}$
  • C
    $a = \frac{mg}{M + 2m}$
  • D
    $a = \frac{Mg}{M + 2m}$
