In an Atwood's machine, one block has mass of 500g, and the other mass of 460g. The pulley, which is mounted on horizontal frictionless bearings, has a radius of 5.00 cm. When released from rest, the heavier block is observed to fall 75.0 cm in 5.00s (without the cord slipping over the pulley).
a) What is the acceleration of each block?
b) What is the tension in the part of the rope that supports the heavier block?
c) What is the tension in the part of the rope that supports the lighter block?
d) What is the angular acceleration of the pulley?
e) What is its rotational inertia?
