Question

Use Newton's 2nd law (rotational form) to find the linear acceleration of blocks A and B, the angular acceleration of the pulley C, and the tension in the cord on each side of the pulley, if there is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the pulley for the situation shown in the figure. The mass of block A is 5.00 kg, the mass of block B is 2.00 kg, the moment of inertia of the pulley about its axis is 0.250 kg m², and the radius of the pulley is 0.125 m.
