Question

wo identical blocks with mass 4.6 kg are con- nected by a rope strung over a pulley with radius 1.5 cm. The magnitude of tension T1 = 32 N. The mass of the rope is negligi- ble, but the mass of the pulley is not. The tabletop is frictionless, and the rope does not slip on the pulley. In this problem, you will consider the effect that the pulley has on the motion of the system. Assume that the moment of inertia of the pulley is the same as for a uniform disk rotating about its center of mass: I = 1MR2.

What is the magnitude of tension T2?

What is the magnitude of the net torque on the pulley? If you didn

Explanation / Answer

insufficient information ::mass of pulley is not given
