**Problem 1:**

A pulley of mass \(3m\) and radius \(r\) is mounted on frictionless bearings and supported by a stand of mass \(4m\) at rest on a table as shown above. The moment of inertia of this pulley about its axis is \(\frac{3}{2}mr^2\). Passing over the pulley is a massless cord supporting a block of mass \(m\) on the left and a block of mass \(2m\) on the right. The cord does not slip on the pulley, so after the block-pulley system is released from rest, the pulley begins to rotate.

a. On the diagram below, draw and label all the forces acting on each block.

[Diagram with two blocks, \(m\) and \(2m\), is provided here for labeling.]

b. Use the symbols identified in part (a) to write each of the following:
