In the figure below, one block has mass M = 500.00 g, the other hasmass m = 460.00 g, and the pulley, which is mounted in horizontalfrictionless bearings, has a radius of 5.0000 cm. When releasedfrom rest, the more massive block falls 85.600 cm in 2.5000 s(without the cord slipping on the pulley, do not treat the pulleyas a uniform disk). (Give your answers to five significant figures.Use these rounded values in subsequent calculations.)
(a) What is the magnitude of the block's acceleration?
m/s2
(b) What is the tension in the part of the cord that supports theheavier block?
N
(c) What is the tension in the part of the cord that supports thelighter block?
N
(d) What is the magnitude of the pulley's angularacceleration?
rad/s2
(e) What is its rotational inertia? (Give this answer to threesignificant figures.)
