Answer:

0.47 m/s²

Explanation:

Assuming the string is inelastic, m₃ will accelerate downward at a rate of -a, and m₄ will accelerate upward at a rate of +a.

Draw a four free body diagrams, one for each hanging mass and one for each wheel.

For m₃, there are two forces: weight force m₃g pulling down, and tension force T₃ pulling up.  Sum of forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

T₃ − m₃g = m₃(-a)

For m₄, there are two forces: weight force m₄g pulling down, and tension force T₄ pulling up.  Sum of forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

T₄ − m₄g = m₄a

For m₁, there are two forces: tension force T₃ pulling down, and tension force T pulling right.  Sum of the torques in the counterclockwise direction:

∑τ = Iα

T₃r₃ − Tr₃ = (m₁r₃²) (a/r₃)

T₃ − T = m₁a

For m₂, there are two forces: tension force T₄ pulling down, and tension force T pulling left.  Sum of the torques in the counterclockwise direction:

∑τ = Iα

Tr₄ − T₄r₄ = (m₂r₄²) (a/r₄)

T − T₄ = m₂a

We now have 4 equations and 4 unknowns.  Let's add the third and fourth equations to eliminate T:

(T₃ − T) + (T − T₄) = m₁a + m₂a

T₃ − T₄ = (m₁ + m₂) a

Now let's subtract the second equation from the first:

(T₃ − m₃g) − (T₄ − m₄g) = m₃(-a) − m₄a

T₃ − m₃g − T₄ + m₄g = -(m₃ + m₄) a

T₃ − T₄ = (m₃ − m₄) g − (m₃ + m₄) a

Setting these two expressions equal:

(m₁ + m₂) a = (m₃ − m₄) g − (m₃ + m₄) a

(m₁ + m₂ + m₃ + m₄) a = (m₃ − m₄) g

a = (m₃ − m₄) g / (m₁ + m₂ + m₃ + m₄)

Plugging in values:

a = (1.64 kg − 1.27 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (2.5 kg + 2.3 kg + 1.64 kg + 1.27 kg)

a = 0.47 m/s²

The difference in torque and mass applied determines the acceleration of

the system.

The acceleration is approximately 0.4703 m/s²

Reasons:

The mass of the left wheel = 2.5 kg

Radius of the left wheel = 24.03 cm

Mass of the right wheel = 2.3 kg

Radius of the right wheel = 31.38 cm

Mass on the left = 1.64 kg

Mass on the right = 1.27 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

Required:

The acceleration of the system

Solution:

The given acceleration of the

T₃ - m₃·g = m₃·(-a)...(1)

T₄ - m₄·g = m₄·a...(2)

[tex]T_3 \cdot r_1 - T \cdot r_1 = I \cdot \alpha = m_1 \cdot r_1^2 \times \dfrac{a}{r_1} = \mathbf{m_1 \cdot r_1 \cdot a}[/tex]

T₃ - T = m₁·a...(3)

[tex]T \cdot r_2 - T_4 \cdot r_2 = \mathbf{ I \cdot \alpha} = m_2 \cdot r_2^2 \times \dfrac{a}{r_2} = m_2 \cdot r_2 \cdot a[/tex]

T - T₄ = m₂·a...(4)

Add equation (3) to equation (4) gives;

T₃ - T + (T - T₄) = T₃ - T₄ = m₁·a + m₂·a

Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1) gives;

(T₃ - m₃·g) - (T₄ - m₄·g) = m₃·a + m₄·a

T₃ - T₄ = -m₃·a - m₄·a - (m₄·g - m₃·g)

Which gives;

m₁·a + m₂·a = -m₃·a - m₄·a - (m₄·g - m₃·g)

a·(m₁ + m₂) = -a·(m₃ + m₄) - (m₄·g - m₃·g)

-(m₄·g - m₃·g) = (m₃·g - m₄·g) = a·(m₃ + m₄) + a·(m₁ + m₂) = a·(m₃ + m₄ + m₁ + m₂)

[tex]a = \mathbf{\dfrac{m_3 \cdot g - m_4 \cdot g}{(m_3 + m_4 + m_1 - m_2)}}[/tex]

[tex]a = \dfrac{1.64 \times 9.8 - 1.27\times 9.8}{(1.27 +1.64 + 2.5 + 2.3)} \approx 0.4703[/tex]

The acceleration is a ≈ 0.4703 m/s²
