Question

A 12.0 kg box resting on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to a 5.00 kg weight by a thin, light wire that passes over a frictionless pulley (Fig. E10.16). The pulley has the shape of a uniform solid disk of mass 2.00 kg and diameter 0.500 m. After the system is released, find (a) the tension in the wire on both sides of the pulley, (b) the acceleration of the box, and (c) the horizontal and vertical components of the force that the axle exerts on the pulley.

Step 1

The moment of inertia of a solid disk is given by the formula I = 0.5*m*r^2, where m is the mass of the disk and r is the radius. In this case, the radius is half the diameter, so r = 0.250 m. Show more…
