Question

A pulley with a radius of 3.0 cm and a rotational inertia of 4.5 x10-3kgm2is suspended from the ceiling. A rope passes over it with a 2.0-kg block attached to one end and a 4.0-kg block attached to the other. The rope does not slip on the pulley. When the velocity of the heavier block is 2.0 m/s the total kinetic energy of the pulley and blocks is:
