Find the net torque on the pulley

[mybrohshi5]

Homework Statement

The pulley in the figure has radius 13.0 cm and a moment of inertia 0.230 kg m^2; the pulley is constructed from a dense metal. The rope does not slip on the pulley rim. The system is released from rest.

Find the net torque on the pulley, about its axle, due to the differing tensions in the rope on the two sides of the pulley.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

From earlier parts of the problem i have found the acceleration of the blocks a = 1.0m/s^2 and the velocity final of the larger falling block v = 3.16 m/s. i also found the tension in both of the ropes. T in rope attached to the larger mass was 35.2 N and the T in the rope on the smaller mass was 21.6 N

Now i cannot find the net torque it is asking for

I tried doing this

t = torque

t_{larger block} - t_{smaller block} = t_net

T*d - T*d = t_net

35.2N(5m) - 21.6N(5m) = t_net

t_net = 68Nm

This is wrong? How else can i go about this problem?

thank you

i was using the height instead of the radius

i got it now :)
