A rope with a negligible mass has two blocks that are suspended over a pulley, m, and M, as shown in the image.  The pulley can be considered as a uniform solid cylindrical disk. Draw a free body diagram and explain if the tensions in the two strings equal? Why? Why not? To solve the problem, why can’t I use the system approach and write the equation for M and m at the same time? Please write the equations that will help solve for T1 and T2
