The figure below (Figure 1) illustrates an Atwood's machine. Let the masses of blocks A and B be 5.50 kgand 2.00 kg, respectively, the moment of inertia of the wheel about its axis be 0.400 kg⋅m2 and the radius of the wheel be 0.150 m
a. Find the linear acceleration of block A if there is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the wheel.
Express your answer in meters per second squared.
b.Find the linear acceleration of block B if there is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the wheel.
Express your answer in meters per second squared.
c.Find the angular acceleration of the wheel C if there is no slipping between the cord and the surface of the wheel.
Express your answer in radians per second squared.
