A rope is wound round a pulley of mass M and its free end is attached to a mass M which is pulled down by gravity. At time t = 0 , the block is set free and begins to drop.
Find the acceleration of the block, a .

Solved that one too. Nice one
Nice application of concepts
α ​ = R a ​ ​ ( 1 ) ​ Now, we write equations for the pulley and the block. For the block we have, M g − T ​ = M a ​ ( 2 ) ​ For the pulley, T R ​ = 2 M R 2 ​ × α ​ ( 3 ) ​ Substituting value of α from equation (1), we get T R T ​ = 2 M R 2 ​ × R a ​ = 2 M a ​ ( 4 ) ​ ( ) Adding equation (2) and (4), We get M g − 2 M a ​ a = 3 2 g ​ ​ = M a
Here the rope does not slip on the pulley and hence the angular acceleration of the pulley is equal to: \Very clear argument, great writeup, and a diagram!

@Josh Silverman – then when should i ask you sir ? it was a nice problem ! plz tell
why is this problem level 3 it should be 1 .
The problem is very easy but the solution by Steven Chase is very conceptual.
