Question

Consider a massless string draped over a pulley, with masses m_1 and m_2 hanging down from each end, where m_1 > m_2. Assume that the pulley is a disk of mass M and radius R, and the friction between the string and pulley is large enough that there is no slipping. Obtain the acceleration of the masses; the angular acceleration of the pulley; and the string tensions during the motion.

Step 1

Step 1: Start by writing the force balance equations for mass \(m_1\) and mass \(m_2\): For mass \(m_1\): \[m_1a = m_1g - T_1\] \[T_1 = m_1g - m_1a\] For mass \(m_2\): \[m_2a = T_2 - m_2g\] \[T_2 = m_2a + m_2g\] Show more…
