By means of a rope whose mass is negligible, two blocks are suspended over a pulley, as the drawing shows. The pulley can be treate as a uniform solid cylindrical disk. The downward acceleration of the 44.0-kg block is observed to be exactly 1/5 the acceleration du 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 Units 11.0 kg 44.0 kg
