Hi ehild,
Its very kind of you to help me! I understand this now that you have explained it. I also approached it another way in the meantime using torque and momentum as change in momentum is equal to net torque and got the acceleration as negative. The only way I was able to get the correct...

Homework Equations
How do I find the angular velocity because I got a value of of -99.1?
The Attempt at a Solution
I used the force equation for M1 and M2. So Fx for M1: Fx= T-um1g=m1a. Fx for M2: Fx= m2gsin(theta)-T-um2gcos(theta)=m2a. Since...
