[SOLVED] Hooks and pulleys (torque and force)
Two weights are connected by a very light flexible cord that passes over a 50.0N frictionless pulley of radius .300m. The pulley is a solid uniform disk and is supported by a hook connected to the ceiling. What force does the hook exert on the ceiling. The weight on the left is 75.0N, and the weight on the right is 125N.
I can find the acceleration of the entire system, but I can't see how this would change the weight of the entire system?
