In the diagram shown, the wheel-and-axle system consists of two pulley wheels of radius r = 10 cm and R = 30 cm. What is the ratio of the masses m/M if the wheel is at rest? (3/1)

A wheel of radius R and negligible mass is mounted on a horizontal frictionless axle so that the wheel is in a vertical plane. Three small objects having masses m, M, and 2M, respectively, are mounted on the rim of the wheel, If the system is in static equilibrium, what is the value of m in terms of M?
