By means of a rope whose mass is negligible, two blocks are suspended over a pulley, as the drawing shows. The pulley can be treated as a uniform solid cylindrical disk. The downward acceleration of the 44.0-kg block is observed to be exactly 1/4 the acceleration due to gravity. Noting that the tension in the rope is not the same on each side of the pulley, find the mass of the pulley. Number i Units 11.0 kg 44.0 kg ****

A person holds his outstretched arm at rest in a horizontal position. The mass of the arm is m and its length is 0.740 m.When the person releases his arm, allowing it to drop freely, it begins to rotate about the shoulder joint. Find (a) theinitial angular acceleration of the arm, and (b) the initial linear acceleration of the man’s hand. (Hint: In calculatingthe torque, assume the mass of the arm is concentrated at its midpoint. In calculating the angular acceleration, use themoment of inertia of a uniform rod of length L about one end; I = 13mL2.)
