A Mass M = 4

question 59

Multiple Choice

A mass m = 4.0 kg is connected, as shown, by a light cord to a mass M = 6.0 kg, which slides on a smooth horizontal surface. The pulley rotates about a frictionless axle and has a radius R = 0.12 m and a rotatinal inertia I = 0.090 kg⋅m². The cord does not slip on the pulley. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of m? ​ ​
