Question: An Atwoods machine has two objects of mass m 1 = 500 g and m 2 = 510 g, connected by a string of negligible
An Atwood’s machine has two objects of mass m1 = 500 g and m2 = 510 g, connected by a string of negligible mass that passes over a frictionless pulley (Figure). The pulley is a uniform disk with a mass of 50 g and a radius of 4 cm. The string does not slip on the pulley.
(a) Find the acceleration of the objects.
(b) What is the tension in the string supporting m1? In the string supporting m2? By how much do they differ?
(c) What would your answers have been if you had neglected the mass of the pulley?

m = 50 g r= 4 cm 510g 500g
