An Atwood machine is constructed using two

wheels (with the masses concentrated at the
rims). The left wheel has a mass of 2.5 kg and
radius 24.03 cm. The right wheel has a mass
of 2.3 kg and radius 31.38 cm. The hanging
mass on the left is 1.64 kg and on the right
1.27 kg
What is the acceleration of the system?
