m1 m 2 The system shown is composed of a wheel of mass m3 and radius r, and two blocks. One block has mass m₁, the other mass m₂, and they are connected by a massless, non-stretchy string. The system is released from rest. Assume m₂ > m₁. The wheel is free to rotate, with no frictional forces from the pivot point. There is sufficient friction between the outer rim of the wheel and the string that the string does not slip.
