A pulley of moment of inertia 2.0kg−m^2 is mounted on a wall as shown in the following figure. Light strings are wrapped around two circumferences of the pulley and weights are attached. What is the angular acceleration of the pulley? Using the following values: r1 = 50 cm, r2 = 20 cm, m1 = 1kg, m2 = 2kg

When I solved this I got -0.46 rad/ s^2. I kind of just want confirmation.
