Question
10.67 The figure below (Figure 1) illustrates an Atwood's machine.
A:Let the masses of blocks A and B be 3.50kg and 2.00kg , respectively, the moment of inertia of the wheel about its axis be 0.300kg?m2, and the radius of the wheel be 0.110m . Find the magnitude of linear acceleration of block A if there is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the wheel.
B:Find the magnitude of linear acceleration of block B if there is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the wheel.
C:Find the magnitude of angular acceleration of the wheel C if there is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the wheel.
D:Find the tension in left side of the cord if there is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the wheel.
E: Find the tension in right side of the cord if there is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the wheel.

Explanation / Answer
A) From the FBD,
mag - T = maa -------------(1)
T - mbg = mba -------------(2)
Tr = I(a/r)
Adding (1) and (2)
(ma - mb)g = (ma + mb)a
1.5g = 5.5a
a = 1.5g/5.5 = 2.68m/s2
B) acceleration of block A = 2.68(-j)
acceleration of block B = 2.68(j)
Magnitude is 2.68m/s2.
C) Angular acceleration = a/r = 2.68/0.11 = 24.36rad/s2.
D) Since there is no slipping, magnitude of Tension is same throughout the rope
T = I(a/r)*1/r
= 0.3(24.36)/0.11 = 66.45N
E) As explained above the tension is same everywhere.
T = 66.45N
