The ropes in (Figure 1) are each wrapped around a cylinder, and the two cylinders are fastened together. The smaller cylinder has a diameter of 10 cm and a mass of 3.5 kg ; the larger cylinder has a diameter of 20 cm and a mass of 10 kg . Figure1 of 1 The figure shows two cylinders fastened together so that they share the rotational axis. Each cylinder has a rope wrapped around it with the weight on its end. The weight suspended from the right side of the smaller cylinder has the mass of 4.0 kilograms. The weight suspended from the right side of the larger cylinder has the mass of 2.5 kilograms. Part A What is the angular acceleration of the cylinders? Assume that the cylinders turn on a frictionless axle.
