A block with a mass of 3kgs (m,) is connected to another block with a mass of 5 kgs (m2) over a pulley as shown below. The pulley has a mass of 2kgs and radius 18cm. Assuming there is no friction between the block and the horizontal surface, and that the tension on the ropes of the pulley is different along the horizontal and vertical direction for the system to move, find: (HINT: Consider inertia of the pulley) a) The acceleration of the blocks b) The tension in the rope of either side of the pulley
