A system uses a pulley that is made using a small ring of mass mA. The radius ra is attached to a disk of mass me and radius r so they move together. The pulley has blocks m₁ and m₂ attached together by a massless string that wraps over the larger radius of the pulley. Their centers of mass have a vertical separation distance L (not shown in the figure). The system is held in place before being released. Neglect any friction produced by the pulley's rotation once the system is in motion. MB MB m₁ m₂ Clearly write out an expression for the moment of inertia of the pulley using the variables that describe the pulley.
