Chapter , Problem 83(choose chapter or problem)
In Fig. 10-41, two blocks, of mass m1 ! 400 g and m2 ! 600 g, are connected by a massless cord that is wrapped around a uniform disk of mass M ! 500 g and radius R ! 12.0 cm.The disk can rotate without friction about a fixed horizontal axis through its center; the cord cannot slip on the disk.The system is released from rest. Find (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks, (b) the tension T1 in the cord at the left, and (c) the tension T2 in the cord at the right

QUESTION:
In Fig. 10-41, two blocks, of mass m1 ! 400 g and m2 ! 600 g, are connected by a massless cord that is wrapped around a uniform disk of mass M ! 500 g and radius R ! 12.0 cm.The disk can rotate without friction about a fixed horizontal axis through its center; the cord cannot slip on the disk.The system is released from rest. Find (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks, (b) the tension T1 in the cord at the left, and (c) the tension T2 in the cord at the right
ANSWER:Step 1 of 6
Given values
Masses of the blocks
Mass of the disk,
Radius of the disk,
Moment of inertia of the disk,
Consider the diagram shown below
Let
Angular acceleration of the disk
Tension in the left cord
Tension in the right cord
