Your answer is partially correct.
In the figure, two blocks, of mass $m_1 = 289$ g and $m_2 = 411$ g, are connected by a massless cord that is wrapped around a uniform disk of mass $M = 464$ g and radius $R = 12.2$ cm. The disk can rotate without friction about a fixed horizontal axis through its center; the cord cannot slip on the disk. The system is released from rest. Find (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks, (b) the tension $T_1$ in the cord at the left and (c) the tension $T_2$ in the cord at the right.
