    Finding acceleration of a mass being pulled by another mass over two pulleys

    So how do I start? What I have: τmp1=Iω τmp2=Iω Fm1=ma -where all of the accelerations are the same Fmp2=ma -where the acceleration is half of the other acceleration Is this correct? If so, how do I put them together?

    Finding acceleration of a mass being pulled by another mass over two pulleys

    Homework Statement A mass m1 is pulled along a frictionless horizontal surface by a rope of tension T1, which passes over a pulley of mass mP1 to a hanging pulley of mass mP2, after which it is fixed to the ceiling, as shown in Fig. 1. Labeling the tension between pulleys 1 and 2 T2, and that...
