Question

An experimental system consists of the solid cylinder of mass m and radius R that is able to rotate around its axis and is attached to the ceiling as shown. Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 are connected by a light, non-stretchable rope as shown. There is no slippage of the rope on the cylinder. Find the angular acceleration 'a' of the cylinder and the ratio of tension forces T1/T2 of the vertical portions of the rope while the blocks are moving. What is this ratio if mass of the cylinder m=0?

Answer 1

the picture of it is attached!

Answer 2

I think this is a physics question, so you should probably post it in the physics section.
Thanks.
