Question
The pulley in Figure P8.59 has a moment of inertia of 3.0 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. Figure P8.59
(a) Find the acceleration of each mass when m1 = 3.0 kg and m2 = 4.6 kg.
acceleration of m1 ( in m/s2)
acceleration of m2 ( in 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 ( in N)
cable supporting m2 (in N)
