Question

The two blocks in the figure are connected by a massless rope that passes over a pulley. The pulley is 17cm in diameter and has a mass of 1.4kg . As the pulley turns, friction at the axle exerts a torque of magnitude 0.50N?m

The two blocks in the figure are connected by a massless rope that passes over a pulley. The pulley is 17cm in diameter and has a mass of 1.4kg . As the pulley turns, friction at the axle exerts a torque of magnitude 0.50N?m If the blocks are released from rest, how long does it take the 4.0 kg block to reach the floor? Use to sig figs

Explanation / Answer

large mass: Fnet = 4kg * a = 4kg * 9.8m/s
