In the figure shown below, block has mass , block has mass , and the pulley, which is mounted on a horizontal axle with negligible friction, has radius . When released from rest, block falls in without the cord slipping on the pulley.
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks? What are
tension and
tension ?
What is the magnitude of the pulley's angular acceleration?
What is its rotational inertia?

In the figure shown below a cylinder having a mass of can rotate about its central axis through point . Forces are applied as shown: . Also, , and . Find the
magnitude and
direction of the angular acceleration of the cylinder. (During the rotation, the forces maintain their same angles relative to the cylinder.)

In the figure shown below, a uniform disk that can rotate around its centre like a merry-go-round. The disk has a radius of and a mass of gram and is initially at rest. Starting at time , two forces are to be applied tangentially to the rim as indicated so that at time , the disk has an angular velocity of counter-clockwise. Force has a magnitude of . What is magnitude of ?
