Rotational MotionHard
Question
In the figure, the blocks have unequal masses m1 and m2 (m1 > m2). m1 has a downward acceleration a. The pulley P has a radius r, and some mass. The string does not slip on the pulley -


Options
A.The two sections of the string have unequal tensions.
B.The two blocks have accelerations of equal magnitude.
C.The angular acceleration of P is 
D.a < 
Solution
In this situation T1 ≠ T2 ∝ =
⇒ a =
