A block has mass m1 = 460 g, and a second block has mass m2 = 500 g, while a cord connects them and runs over a pulley, which is mounted on a horizontal axle with negligible friction. The pulley has radius R = 5.00 cm. When released from rest, block 2 falls 75.0 cm in 5.00 s without the cord slipping on the pulley. (a)What is the angular displacement of the pulley during this time interval? (b) What is the magnitude of the linear acceleration of the blocks? (c) What is the magnitude of the pulley's angular acceleration?
