Homework Statement
The rope doesn't slide on the pulley, it's mass is negligible and it doesn't stretch .The pulley's moment of inertia is 0.00300 kg * m^2 with a radius of 10 cm. As the first mass goes down the rope's friction generates a moment of force of 0.150 N*m opposed to the angular speed of the pulley. Initially , both masses are motionless and m1 is at a height of 1.5m(h = 1.5m).
m1 = 1.5 kg
m2 = 0.8 kg

Homework Equations
τ = r*F
τresultant = Σ(τ) = I* αz
Fresultant = ma
αz = aθ / r
-ay1 = ay2
The Attempt at a Solution
T1 = -m1ay1 + m1g
T2 = m2ay2 + m2g
-T1 + T2 - 1.5 = I*ay1
replacing the values in the last equation with the first two equations and isolating a results 3.69 m/s2
the real solution is a1 = -2.06 m/s2
