51. (III) An Atwood’s
machine consists of two masses, and
which are connected by a massless inelastic
cord that passes over a pulley, Fig. 10–57. If the pulley has radius R
and moment of inertia I about its axle, determine the acceleration of
the masses
and
and compare to the
situation in which the moment of inertia of the pulley is ignored. [Hint:
The tensions
and
are not equal.
We discussed the Atwood machine in Example 4–13, assuming
for the pulley.]
