Question

A system consits of two masses and a pulley. The hanging mass accelerates downwards with an acceleration of magnitude ( a ), at the instant shown. Find an expression for the tensions, ( T_{1} ) and ( T_{2} ), and the linear acceleration ( a ). Assume the pulley can be modeled as a solid disk of radius ( R ) and mass ( M ).

Step 1

For the mass \(m_1\) hanging on one side, the forces are the gravitational force \(m_1g\) (where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity) acting downwards and the tension \(T_1\) in the rope acting upwards. For the mass \(m_2\) on the other side, similarly, the Show more…
