Mass of the pulley is $m$ & radius is $R$. Assume pulley to be uniform disc. Pulley is free to rotate about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. String is massless & inextensible. String is wrapped on the pulley. There is no slipping between string and pulley. The length of the string which is not wrapped on the pulley is $2R$. Block of mass $m$ is released from the position as shown in the figure. The impulse exerted by the string on the pulley at the moment string becomes taut is $J. \frac{2m \sqrt{gR}}{J}$ is equal to.
