The two blocks Aand Bhave a mass of 5 kg and 10 kg,
respectively.If the pulley can be treated as a disk of mass 3kg
and radius 0.15 m, determine the acceleration of block A.
Neglect the mass of the cord and any slipping on the pulley.
SOLUTION
The mass moment of inertia of the pulley about point Ois
Equation of Motion: Write the moment equation of motion about point Oby
referring to the free-body and kinetic diagram of the system shown in Fig. a,
