In Figure, one block has mass M = 500 g, theother has mass m = 460 g, and the pulley, which is mountedin horizontal frictionless bearings, has a radius of 5.00 cm. Whenre leased from rest, the more massive block falls 80.9 cm in 2.78 s (without the cord slipping on the pulley). a) What is the magnitude of the block's acceleration? b) What is the tension in the part of the cord that supports the heavier block? c) What is the tension in the part of the cord that supporst the lighter block? d) What is the magnitude of the pulley's angular acceleration? e) What is its rotational inertia?

a) For the small body  T−mg=ma  For the bigger mass of body  Mg−T=Ma  From both the equations  a=(M−m)gm+M  The value of accelerationis  =0.042ms2  b) The tension in the heavier body  T=M(g−a)  =4.379N  c)The tension in the smaller mass  T=m(g−a)=4.03N  d)The magnintude of pulleys
