Solution
I'm sorry, but your question seems to be incomplete. You mentioned that the radii of the two pulleys are given, but you didn't provide the actual values. Also, the image you referred to is not visible here. However, I can tell you that the direction of the angular acceleration depends on the relative magnitudes of the torques produced by the two forces. If the torque due to the force on the larger radius pulley is greater, the pulley will rotate in the direction of that force, and vice versa.

Two unequal weights are connected by a massless string which passes over a frictionless pulley. If the pulley has no appreciable mass, the tension in the string is the same on both sides of the pulley; but if the pulley has mass, the tension will not be the same on both sides of the pulley.Group of answer choicesFalseTrue
The radius of a pulley is 182 mm. Find the circumference of the pulley. (This is the amount of rope that passes through the pulley as it rotates exactly once.)Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not type the units in the space below.
The figure below shows two blocks suspended by a single cord over a pulley. (Figure 1) The mass of block B is twice the mass of block A, while the mass of the pulley is equal to the mass of block A. The blocks are let free to move and the cord moves on the pulley without slipping or stretching. There is no friction in the pulley axle, and the cord's weight can be ignored.Figure1 of 1Part AWhich of the following statements correctly describes the system shown in the figure?Check all that apply.View Available Hint(s)for Part AThe acceleration of the blocks is zero.The net torque on the pulley is zero.The angular acceleration of the pulley is nonzero.
A 3.7-kg sphere is suspended by a cord that passes over a 1.3-kg pulley of radius 3.6 cm. The cord is attached to a spring whose force constant is k = 86 N/m as in the figure below. Assume the pulley is a solid disk.An apparatus is shown with a wall extending upward from the left end of a table and a pulley mounted above the right edge of the table. A horizontal spring labeled k has its left end attached to a horizontal cord, the other end of which is attached to the wall. The center line of the spring is aligned with the top of the pulley. The right end of the spring is attached to a second cord. This cord extends horizontally, over the pulley and 90° around it where it hangs downward. A sphere of mass m hangs from the end of the second cord.(a) If the sphere is released from rest with the spring unstretched, what distance does the sphere fall through before stopping? m(b) Find the speed of the sphere after it has fallen 25 cm. m/s
