Question

Two cylinders having different masses m1 and m2 are connected by a string passing over a pulley, as shown in Figure. The pulley has a radius R and moment of inertia I about its axis of rotation. The string does not slip on the pulley. Determine the acceleration of the two cylinders and the tension in the string.​

Answer 1

Answer

Figure shows two blocks of masses m and M connected by a string passing over a pulley. The horizontal table over which the mass m slides is smooth. The

Top answer

So, According to the equation Mg - T1 = Ma(1) T2 = ma(2) (T1-T2) = Iar^2(3) (because,a = ra) Now add the equations 1 and 2nd Then
