Question

The pulley in figure p8.59 has a moment of inertia of 7.0 kg m2 and a radius of 0.50 m. The cord supporting the masses m1 and m2 does not slip, and the axle is frictionless.

<------ if you can't see it, it is the picture in this link, http://www.webassign.net/sercp/p8-59.gif

(a) Find the acceleration of each mass when m1 = 2.9 kg and m2 = 4.7 kg.

acceleration of m1 _______ m/s2

acceleration of m2 _______ m/s2

(b) Find the tension in the cable supporting m1 and the tension in the cable supporting m2 (note the two tensions are different).

cable supporting m1 _______ N

cable supporting m2 _______ N

Explanation / Answer

Let k = Ip/r
