Consider a Disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$, I applied force $F$ tangentially on it. Now using $F=Ma$ , acceleration comes up to $$a=F/M$$
Now, let's use the torque equation: Here, the moment of inertia $I$ is $\frac12MR^2$ , and let $\alpha$ be the angular acceleration. Now, torque equals $FR$, so $$FR=\frac12MR^2\alpha$$ and, putting the rolling without slipping assumption $a=\alpha R$, we get $$a=2F/M$$ What gives rise to this discrepancy?
