Question
Consider a pulley of mass mp and radius R that has a moment of inertia 1/2mpR2. The pulley is free to rotate about a frictionless pivot at its center. A massless string is wound around the pulley and the other end of the rope is attached to a block of mass m that is initially held at rest on frictionless inclined plane that is inclined at an angle β with respect to the horizontal. The downward acceleration of gravity is g. The block is released from rest .
How long does it take the block to move a distance d down the inclined plane?
Write your answer using some or all of the following: R, m, g, d, mp,

Answer:
a = , t =
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we must use Newton’s second law
For the block
let’s set a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane
X axis
Wₓ – T = m a
Y axis
N- W_y = 0
N = W_y
for pulley
∑τ = I α
T R = (½ m_p R²) α
let’s use trigonometry for the weight components
sin β = Wₓ / W
cos β = W_y / W
Wx = W sin β
angular and linear variables are related
a = α R
α = a / R
we substitute and group our equations
W sin β – T = m a
T R = ½ m_p R² (a / R)
W sin β – T = m a
T = ½ m_p a
we solve the system of equations
W sin β = (m + ½ m_p) a
a =
let’s find the time to travel the distance (d) through the block
x = v₀ t + ½ a t²
d = 0 + ½ a t²
t =
