A Mass M₁ Is Connected by a Light String That

Multiple Choice

A mass m₁ is connected by a light string that passes over a pulley of mass M to a mass m₂ as shown in the figure. Both masses move vertically and there is no slippage between the string and the pulley. The pulley has a radius of 20.0 cm and a moment of inertia of ½ MR². If m₁ is 3.00 kg, m₂ is 6.00 kg and M is 4.00 kg, then what is the tension in the string that is attached to mass m₂?

A) 33.6 N
B) 42.8 N
C) 53.6 N
D) 63.4 N
E) 75.5 N
