Homework Equations
Newton's 2nd Law F = ma
Torque Equation τ = Iα
The Attempt at a Solution
Well I know I have to write separate equations for the masses and tensions so I got this:
T1 - m1g = m1a
T2 - m2g = -m2a -----> (negative because acceleration downwards is negative)
How do I write Newton's 2nd Law for the disk and relate it to the two equations above so I'm able to solve for the magnitude of acceleration and the two tensions?
