The system shown in the figure below consists of a mass M = 3.5-kg block resting on a frictionless horizontal ledge. This block is attached to a string that passes over a pulley, and the other end of the string is attached to a hanging m = 2.2-kg block. The pulley is a uniform disk of radius 8.0 cm and mass 0.60 kg.
(a) What is the acceleration of each block?
acceleration of M = 3.5 kg m/s2
acceleration of m = 2.2 kg m/s2
(b) What is the tension in the string?
small tension N
large tension N
